Elsdon and Rudwater Turnpike Trust


The Elsdon and Rudwater Turnpike Trust was established by an Act of Parliament (16 Geo3 c.83) in 1776. The Trust covered part of the route between Newcastle and Jedbrough - up to Carter Bar (the England-Scotland border) after which the road was covered by the Roxburgh Turnpike Trust. Much of the route is now the A68 road. Many of the milestones are extant and included on the National Heritage List for England.
