Añadir al carritoManuscript on folded parchment, with red rules, embossed stamp and seals. 24 x 18 inches. Illustrated with hand-coloured plan. In fine condition. Three named turnpike trustees resident in Matfield Brenchley, Nettlestead and Yalding, convey the tollhouse at Woodgate Nettlestead (on the junction of roads to East Peckham, Hadlow an…d Mereworth) to Horace Martin of West Bank in the parish of Wrotham. The trust in question is not given a short name, although F.C. Elliston-Erwood, the Kent authority on turnpike roads, who formerly owned this document, has labelled it the Branbridges Road. It formally cites an act of 1829 'for repairing the road from the Brick Kilns on East Malling Heath to Pembury Green and from Branbridges to the Four Wents near Matfield Green and from the said Road into the Mereworth and Hadlow Road.' Most of these routes had been created as turnpikes in 1766 and the later act would have extended this status. Additionally it seems to have established a short new route from Branbridges to the Tonbridge to Maidstone turnpike (1765), joining it between Hadlow and Mereworth. Erwood has annotated the margin in 1949 to give the map reference of the property on the OS 2 1/2 inch map. When this tollhouse was sold in 1884, the turnpike road system was in marked decline and its disposal by the trust suggests that its was realising the value of its assets, prior to being wound up. The 1878 Directory, confirms the residences of the three trustees and of the purchaser. KENT ROADS KENT ROADS 19TH CENTURY KENT Albert, Turnpike Road System.

Añadir al carritoFolio. 7.5 x 12 inches. 1785-1820 pp. 8 pp. typescript with tipped in plate and plans, and hand-written notes. Bound in brown half morocco, gilt, with marbled boards. Elliston Erwood bookplate. Fine condition. Erwood's bound copy of the Act establishes a trust to improve the Lower Road between Greenwich and Woolwich which is cur…rently 'unsafe, narrow, incommodious, and out of Repair, and in some Places in a ruinous Condition,' facilitating access to the 'Dock-Yard and Arsenals at Woolwich, and the Conveyance of Navy, Ordinance, and other Public Stores to and from the same.' It appoints some fifty Trustees, many of whom are ex-officio military and naval personnel, e.g the Commanding Royal Engineer and the Master Shipwright at Woolwich, along with individually named local notables, clerics and army officers. The eighty sections of the Act detail the administration of the trust and the activities of its officers. Erwood has assembled some extracts from the minute book for the New Cross Turnpike Trust (1813-20) which examined the proposals for the new act in 1817, but as he notes at the end, decided not to add to its existing road network, which would have linked up to its route in Greenwich. Hence the need to establish a new trust for this short stretch of road. Erwood has also inserted a copy of an 1825 illustration of the Royal Arsenal Gates where the new road ended, and of an 1810 plan of the road, which he has redrawn from Essex Record Office (proposed ferry link from Woolwich to Plaistow, Essex). At the end are his tracings showing the locations of toll gates on the Lower Road. KENT ROADS KENT WEST KENT ROADS 19TH CENTURY KENT.
