Turnpike trusts in the East Midlands
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of turnpike trusts that maintained roads in the East Midlands.
Between 1663 and 1836, the Parliament of Great Britain and the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed a series of acts of Parliament that created organisations – turnpike trusts – that collected road tolls, and used the money to repair the road. These applied to major roads, around a fifth of the road network.[1] The turnpike system was phased out in the 1870s, and major roads transitioned in the 1880s to the maintenance of the new county councils.
The counties used for these lists are the historic counties of England that existed at the time of the turnpike trusts. This article lists those in the East Midlands: Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, and Rutland.
