Full Description
In 1777 the Trustees of the Ashbourne to Buxton turnpike road made four miles of new road from Sandybrook in Offcote & Underwood parish, north through Fenny Bentley and past Tissington Gates to join the original road just short of New Inns, Newton Grange. There had already been a road here when Burdett had produced his map in 1762-7. On the original turnpike there was a tollgate a short distance to the north of New Inns, but when the new road was made in 1777 this was moved to the junction of the old and new roads.
