  • Turnpike Roads of the Bristol Region a Preliminary Study
    BIAS JOURNAL No 1 1968 Turnpike Roads of the Bristol Region a preliminary study The system of road improvement known as turnpiking had its origins in the mid- seventeenth century when an Act was passed in 1663 for the repair to the Old North Road in the counties of Hertford, Huntingdon and Cambridge, and for tolls to be levied at certain places to cover the costs of maintenance. Other roads were similarly dealt with in the succeeding years including that from London to Harwich in 1695-6 and two smaller stretches of road in Sussex and Gloucestershire shortly afterwards. The main period of expansion of this ‘movement’ did not occur until the second half of the eighteenth century and from then the turnpike system maintained its dominant position well into the railway era which was partly responsible for its death. Since the 1550s successive Highways Acts, based largely on the delegation of road repair responsibility to individual parishes, had failed to secure much of an improvement in general road conditions. The introduction of a simple commercial element, despite many abuses by turnpike trustees, brought about a marked improvement; most roads were getting the first regular, if unscientific, repair that they had ever had. The develop- ment of a systematic technology of road improvement and construction, in France by P.M.J. Tresaguet and later in Britain by engineers such as Metcalfe, Telford and McAdam meant that by the 1820s the major factor limiting road speeds was the capacity of the horse rather than the condition of the road surface. The Bristol region has a notable turnpike history.

Moorings are available very close to the city centre and Bath is, without doubt, worthy of at least a couple of days of exploration. The medieval town of Bradford on Avon, just an hour from Hilperton, offers a very pleasant stopping point. Weavers' cottages cling to the side of the Avon valley, looking down across the old mills to the 'Broad Ford' on the river that gave the town its name. The splendid Dundas and Avoncliff Aqueducts both take the canal over the River Avon as it follows the river alley between Bradford and Bath. Claverton's pumping station and American Museum may be incongruent with each other but certainly offer to satisfy differing interests! Bath City and the spectacular Pulteney Weir and Bridge. Bath and the surrounding area is brimming with things to see and do. Designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, Bath presents some of the finest architectural sights in Europe such as the Royal Crescent, the Circus and Pulteney Bridge, alongside a diverse collection of museums and attractions including the Roman baths, Jane Austen centre and Thermae Bath Spa.
