Title
William FitzHerbert to Leeke Okeover: "I beg nothing may be said about Hanging Bridge; the turnpike shall be in the lane; nor do we purpose putting it at Hanging Bridge, but if it is said it shan't be there, people will directly mend their private ways up to the moor, and we intend only to keep them on the turnpike and to tell them we will put it there if they miss us - as we used to threaten to put one at the Wheel at Nuns green at Derby. Besides the money is promised me now and would not [be] if they saw such an exclusion; and Mr. Davenport etc. only desire to be free to the market, if it should be [ ] there, which our tradesmen at Ashbourne do not desire. Depend on it, if they may not come from Leek to us, our Derby road will be hurt; and I have assurances from Congleton of their going on to Winsford Bridges which is a very cheap navigation to Liverpool and will let us in to that sea, which may be of the greatest service to our country". 16 February
