Susan, If that last song was written by Ewan MacColl its proper title should be England's Motorway.
There's at least one more song which comes to mind and which isn't on the list, namely The Winding banks of Erne. I don't have any details about my person but it's in one of Colm O Lochlainn's two books of Irish Street Ballads.
Hang on, I've just thought of another. Farewell to the 'Cotia, which appeared on Jack Elliott of Birtley; The Songs and Stories of a Durham Miner. Leader. LEA 4001. It was, if recall aright, a Jock Purdom composition.
