After watching the re-run of this WWII film on the TV, I
wonder when country roads in Brit becane tarmacced,

Try searching, it's not that hard.

Something like:
when did roads become tarmacked in uk

should tell you.


Nope

didn't find it

I can find out from the technical pov, when it was first possible to
tarmac roads

but I cant find, what I believe the OP is looking for (and which I
myself have also thought about when seeing similarly aged films),
when the country's finances were sound enough for us to actual afford
to tarmac all roads
