Would anyone have more details of the ones at Winscombe 1841, Stratton on the Fosse, Glastonbury 1851, Kingsdon, Emborough 1871, Stratton on the Fosse 1861. Perhaps Ashcott also.

I am a volunteer with Bristol Museums and we hold most of the remaining original documents of the surveys of Bristol Turnpike Roads undertaken by BIAS in the 1968 and published in BIAS journals 1 and 5. These are original paper documents and photograph and I am trying to digitise them so they will last longer. A lot of basic data is not on some of the photographs and they were not included in the reports so I am doing detective work during lockdown (Cannot stop a good volunteer even if they are over 70 and banned from going to the museum!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06128600984902956970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639323715246109217.post-74418028279437718152020-05-30T13:06:29.417-07:002020-05-30T13:06:29.417-07:00ST 630 431ST 630 431St Kildahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05553414621457212479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639323715246109217.post-56936413551734187752020-05-30T06:51:28.312-07:002020-05-30T06:51:28.312-07:00The one pictured above Charlton Toll House on A361...The one pictured above Charlton Toll House on A361 please <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06128600984902956970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639323715246109217.post-36338855873500781812020-05-28T08:46:56.944-07:002020-05-28T08:46:56.944-07:00For which toll house would you like the grid refer...For which toll house would you like the grid reference?St Kildahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05553414621457212479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639323715246109217.post-38600864930605746112020-05-28T08:43:02.135-07:002020-05-28T08:43:02.135-07:00Has anyone got the grid reference of this tollhous...Has anyone got the grid reference of this tollhouse?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06128600984902956970noreply@blogger.com
