Transport and Public Works, 1895-1956

Collection: Ghana and Togo Under Colonial Rule, in Government Reports, 1843-1957    Volumes    Transport and Public Works, 1895-1956
The Annual Reports were regularly printed until 1929/30, thereafter cyclostyle copies are available until 1938/39. The Report for 1952/53 noted: "...no annual reports of the activities of the Department have been published for over ten years due to various factors such as World War II, lack of staff in relation to work load, and restrictions on printing". The history of road and rail transport development in the Gold Coast is closely entwined as the colonial government was particularly concerned to control road transport so as to lessen competition with the Government owned railway.
