Archive CreatorDerby-Ashbourne-Hurdlow Turnpike Trust
Administrative HistoryIn the 18th century special Acts of Parliament were passed in many areas of the country establishing turnpike trusts which had powers to collect tolls in exchange for providing and main- taining a road. A General Turnpike Act was passed in 1773 to speed up the Parliamentary process. In 1888 the responsibility for main roads was transferred to county councils (non-main roads followed in 1894). Note. Plans and books of reference of turnpikes had to be deposited with the Clerk of the Peace. See DRO ref Q/RP 1 (“deposited plans”). This road was worked in two sections; Derby to Ashbourne (Southern Division) and Ashbourne to Hurdlow (North Division). Most of the papers relate to the Southern Division only.
Custodial HistoryThe records of the turnpike from Derby through Ashbourne to Hurdlow House were deposited in Derbyshire Record Office in October 1969.
