Full Description
Track built between 1786 and 1846, and probably after 1835. Marked on the 1847 tithe-map as 'Mr Newton's private road'. The Newton family were connected with Litton from 1786 onwards, though it was not until 1835 that there was a strong link with Litton mill (see SMR 9421) when Henry Newton became manager of the mill (1,2,3,4).
