Cow-Causey and Buckton-Burn Turnpike Trust
The Cow-Causey & Buckton Burn Turnpike Trust was established by an Act of Parliament (20 Geo2 c.9) in 1747. It was the earliest Turnpike Trust to be established in Northumberland. The Trust covered some of the northern parts of the Great North Road, which was the principal route between London and Edinburgh - from Cow-Causey (near Newcastle) to Buckton Burn (the burn, by the hamlet of Buckton is about 3 miles north of Belford). The Berwick, Norham & Islandshires Turnpike Trust covered the road north of Buckton Burn. A survey of the Cow-Causey & Buckton Burn Turnpike and plans for significant road improvements begain in 1835[1]. The Trust ended in 1875.
