Plan: Knowleston Place/Matlock Green: 1899. Indicates seven properties for sale by auction. The plan is dated more than twenty years after the expiration of the Turnpike Trust and the depicted location is distant from the Derby and Sheffield road. The back of the plan is, however, endorsed with the name Derby, Duffield, Sheffield, Wirksworth road. The question arises of the plan's position amongst Turnpike Trust documents. The solicitors for the vendor in the 1899 sale were Shipton & Hallewell, (Derbyshire Courier 29 July 1899, p8), who had held the clerkship of the Turnpike Trust. The plan is large and one possible explanation is that the plan was used to contain/wrap some Turnpike Trust documents.
