Full Description
In 1759 the road running east from Chesterfield through Heath and Glapwell was turnpiked to Mansfield. Despite an expenditure of some £4000 on its repair, the road was in a wretched condition in 1780, threatened with indictment with a falling income at a time when heavy expenditure was essential. (1)
Turnpiking of the Chesterfield-Hasland-Mansfield road was authorised by an Act of 32.Geo.II c.37. (2)
