Thank you, Viv. Thats a picture thats new to me. Nice inclusion of a Georgian shop too.

Thank you very much indeed, Col. Those mean a lot.

My pleasure, Miss M.

Thank you, Phil. I am surprised that the clock was so large. Today it would have been a tourist draw. Our loss.

BGFL is the best site that I ever found dealing with toll roads / gates. Here is a map that I saved from that website & also Peter Walker's map. There are various pictures available of turnpike cottages on the web if you want to see something generic. The turnpike cottage still stands on...

Ancestry should be able to deal with this if you contact them. I had a similar issue with FMP & the staff resolved the matter.
