Taking into account they were Brits, most likely they did back then what they still do today.
"Flew into Miami Beach BOAC...."
But since this was in the pre-BOAC era, flying wouldn't have been an option.
So they would have trekked across any of the various land bridges to Miami, to wait out the Ice Age.
Don't forget that most water on the earth back then was locked up in glaciers, so the oceans were teeny tiny, and land bridges were sprouting out of the mud just about everywhere you looked.
No, I don't remember exactly where I heard this; likely on "Doctor Science"?
Thanks moose07. There was a discussion about the relative merits of road-widening as well — the complaint often is, it just spread out the traffic and made formerly quiet towns noisy. But that’s what they’re intended to do. :’) I wholeheartedly agree about the cost of tunnels. Much cheaper to put a sinewave barrier (perhaps in polymer) to counteract the racket.

“Stephanie”; there’s only one I kinda dislike on the album. Never thought to get that on LP when it was around everywhere, after their union with FM. Never has come out on CD. It is possible to, uh, listen to it on YT, which means there are some good options for saving it to local drives.
In 3000 BC Egypt barely existed per se; the very oldest surviving inscription is a bit younger than this.
In Ireland though:
History doesn’t get finished.

They came from what is now the Basque area of Spain. Walked up the coast to the area before the ocean level rose.

I have always been interested in Stonehenge but never learned much about it.
You can get any opinion you want on how they were built and or moved but we still don`t know.
My ancestors were Basques who left the Spanish Pyrenees-but there was no ice-just an autocratic monarchy that liked to torture...
He didn’t get it.

Well, treehugger, history doesn’t get finished because there’s always more of it, obviously.
There’s a documentary around here somewhere, the large trilithons were quite carefully made, and on one the work crew started to carve the wrong side, were stopped, and made to do the correct side. Since they couldn’t very well fix it, it got assembled that way, and the error is still visible. :’)
Treehugger?
No, history is the past. History-to-come is in the future. Simply tell everyone no more changes to history; that’s it!
SAVE THE TREES! SAVE THE TREES!
England use to float closer to Africa by the Rock of Gibraltar but broke loose during a storm and ended up in it’s present location.
Now if the English can just get itself off the rocks it washed up on using some unobtainium tow ropes then they can move back to a warmer climate.

If we have another ice age and the sea level drops, they can walk over pulling it on log rollers...
