  • Turnpike Roads of the Bristol Region a Preliminary Study

    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.

Cycling offers a great opportunity to discover new places and views in South Gloucestershire.We hope that you enjoy cycling these routes and that it encourages you to get your bike out more often. The routes vary in length and difficulty. A grading system has been used to determine the ability level required to cycle these routes. However this is only a guide. Ability Levels 1 For all users including inexperienced or beginner cyclists. Any hills will be very gentle and any on road cycling will be on quiet roads. 2 For slightly more experienced cyclists or those who may feel a bit more confident. There may be the occasional steep hill (don’t be afraid to get off and push!) and occasional short stretches on busier roads. 3 For the reasonably competent cyclists. The rides will be longer, with some steep hills and with cycling on or alongside busy roads for longer stretches. The distances given do not take into account any return journey unless the route is circular. The times given to cycle a route may vary depending on fitness level and the number of breaks and stops. Advice These routes incorporate off road sections that are shared with pedestrians.
