Full Description
This abandoned stretch of 18th century turnpike road is visible as a cutting made into the steep valley side. It ran a short distance from the present road, to where the causeways to mine shafts start to branch. It was built in 1778, as a short extension to the 1773 branch of the Buxton to Leek turnpike [SMR 33203]. It was probably disused by c. 1840 at the latest. (1)
