Totnes Road Mr Trist reported
In support Mr Robert Huxam said road from Lord Clifford’s to Lower Quarter of Totnes very inconvenient and a house of small value projects into road and obstructs passage of carriages at Collins Corner in possession of Rev Lightfoot Gaverick, who would not object to selling this as it is untenanted for several years.

Petition of Trustees of Act passed in 32nd year Geo 2 for road from Lord Clifford’s Park Gate in year Geo 2 to Biddaford and creditors under this Act, and mayor aldermen and burgesses of Totnes, Bridgetown Pomeroy, Berry Pomeroy, Stoke Gabriel, Paignton, Maldon, Bovey Tracey, Dartington, Rattery and gents and clergy etc setting out that the roads leading from the head of the Borough of Bridgetown Pomeroy in Parish of Berry Pomeroy thru Parishes of Berry Pomeroy and Stoke Gabriel to Watton gate at end of Stoke Gabriel, and from Bridgetown to Paignton and from thence to a place called Sands
And from

And from Totnes thru Dartington to
And from Huxham’s Cross to the end of Marsh
Lane leading to town of
Are so ruinous, incommodious and narrow that they cannot be amended and widened by the ordinary course of the law
And alleging that as these roads from Bridgetown to Paignton and Five Lanes branch off by several roads from Bridgetown Pomeroy and from Totnes turnpike road to Newton Abbot, it will be necessary to erect a toll gate at the head of Bridgetown Pomeroy and a side gate in the town, and as there are two tollgates already erected by virtue of above Act, one at Bunker’s Hill, a mile from Bridgetown, and another at Fork Green between Totnes and Biddaford, it would become too heavy a burden on persons travelling these roads to pay a toll at Bridgetown Head and at these gates.
So pray leave for provision of only one toll for travellers on road from Head Bridgetown to Watton Gate, Paignton and Five Lanes and to Totnes Turnpike road between Newton Abbot and Biddaford, either at Bunker’s Hill or Fork Green.
25 Feb 1762 Bridgetown Pomeroy road
Mr Butler Reported
To prove the allegation of the petitioners,
There are 2 gates that are burdensome and need to allow to pass either if paid on same day.
Petition of gents, freeholders and others of Churston Ferrers and Brixham

Totnes Road Mr Trist reported
In support Mr Robert Huxam said road from Lord Clifford’s to Lower Quarter of Totnes very inconvenient and a house of small value projects into road and obstructs passage of carriages at Collins Corner in possession of Rev Lightfoot Gaverick, who would not object to selling this as it is untenanted for several years.
Also
a Petition made regarding the
19 Jan 1761; Petition from Teingrace, Bovey Tracey, Lustley, North Bovey, Moreton Hampstead, that road is incommodious, having a very troublesome ascent and descent that has scarcely ever been considered a public road by those travelling from Bovey Tracey to Newton, until the erection of a turnpike gate at Teing Bridge, and then it came in use only by those willing to take trouble and hazard to avoid the toll at this gate; and that for time out of mind the road had been by way of Teign Bridge, Teing Grace, Ventaford Bridge to Diptford Bridge – the same is most level and convenient – petition that this ancient way not subverted or changed and petitioners not burdened by tolls, other than at Teing Bridge.
and
A Petition from
Mayor, Aldermen and Merchants of Exeter – that the road leading from the head
of the Holloway in Ideford on west side of Lord Clifford’s Park Gate, where the
Exeter turnpike ends, thru towns of Newton Bushell, Newton Abbot and Totnes to
Biddeford in the Parish of Ugborough, has been in part repaired by virtue of an
Act of 32nd Year, and this road leads from Exeter through Newton to Totnes and
Plymouth thru a rich and populous and trading country, and is greatly
frequented by the petitioners and that the Commissioners have erected three
tollgates on the road; Teing Bridge within a mile of Newton Abbot, another
between Newton Abbot and Totnes and a 3rd between Totnes and Biddeford, and
that the gate at Teing Bridge brings in more money than both others so that
repair of this road (22 miles) chiefly depends on the produce of this gate, on
the credit of which toll, considerable sums of money have been borrowed – and
road from Newton Abbot to Diptford Bridge is on North side of road from Newton
Abbot to Holloway, so travellers passing from North and East parts of Newton
Bushell, by travelling road mentioned in bill from Bovey Mills to Diptford
Bridge and Drum Bridge to Newton Abbot and Newton Bushell, and back again, will
avoid said gate at Teing Bridge –whereby the toll collected will be lessened,
the trustees incapable of repairing the roads and will affect the commerce of
the Country. Pray nothing in new bill will affect toll at
And
Same Trustees alleged that the tolls at Teing Bridge bring in one week or another £ 3-4s-6d and gate between Newton Abbot and Totnes brings in no more than £ 1 – 6s – 6d and the gate between Totnes and Biddeford brings in no more than 19s in a week. The sum of £2,800 has been borrowed against the tolls. Travellers on the new road may avoid these tolls.

the Parish of Totnes, to a Place called Luscombe Cross, in the Parish of
Harberton, in the said County of Devon. [24th March 1803.]
An
Act for more effectually repairing and improving the Road leading from the End
of the
the several Roads hereinafter described; (that is to
say), the Road leading from the South Termination of the Exeter Turnpike Road
in the Parish of Ideford, to Biddaford Bridge in the Parish of Ugborough ;
from the Top of the Hill on the East Side of Gatcombe in the Parish of Littlehempston, to
Bridgetown Cross in the Parish of Berry Pomeroy; from Bridgetown Pomeroy in the
Parish of Berry Pomeroy to Galmpton Cross in the Parish of Churston Ferrers;
from Bridgetown Pomeroy aforesaid to the

aforesaid, to a Place called Five Lanes in the Parish of Marldon; and from the
Turnpike Gate in Totnes called the Bromborough Gate, to Luscombe Cross in the Parish of Haberton; and
from the said Turnpike Gate to Gerston Cross in the said Parish of Totnes; all
in the said County of Devon : And whereas in consequence of the new Roads made
by virtue of the said Acts, certain Parts of the old Roads therein comprized,
(that is to say) the Road leading from the Top of the Hill on the East Side of
Gatcombe in the Parish of Littlehempston, to the Top of Bourton Hill, at or
near Wrinkle Horn in the Parish of Berry
Pomeroy aforesaid; and also the Road leading from or near Batter-ways Bridge to
the Village of Paignton, and from thence to The Sands in the Parish of Paignton
aforesaid, may be discontinued as Part of the Roads comprized in the said
Trust, and the said Trustees discharged from the Repairs thereof, without
Inconvenience to the Public: And whereas it would be a great Accommodation to
the Inhabitants of the Towns of Chudleigh, Newton Bushell, Newton Abbot,
Bridgetown Pomeroy, and Totnes, and
their Vicinity, and would otherwise be of public Utility, if more
effectual Provision was made for the making, improving, and keeping in Repair
the several other Roads hereinafter described,
(that is to say) a Road leading
from the County Post near the East End of Teignbridge in the Parish of
Kingsteignton, to the Exeter Turnpike Road near to and on the East Side of

seventy yards south of a Farm House called Farmston in the Parish of Halwell in
the said County of Devon; the Lines of which last mentioned Roads are specified
or described in the Map or Plan hereinafter mentioned and referred to: And
whereas from and after the making of certain Parts of the additional Roads
authorized to be made by this Act, certain other Parts of the Roads comprised
in the said recited Acts, and hereinafter particularly mentioned, (to wit) the
Road from or near the West End of the 'Turnpike Gate near the Town of Newton
Abbott in the Parish of Woolborough, to or near the West End of Pollexfens Barn
in the Parish of Abbotscarswell ; the Road from or near the Four Mile Stone in
the Parish of Ippelspen, to or near Bow Bridge in the same Parish; the Road
from or near the Direction Post at the Top of Tramridge Hill in the Parish of
Berry Pomeroy aforesaid, to or near the Point of a Hedge in Kiln Field, Parcel
of a Tenement called Martin Torr in the said Parish of Berry Pomeroy ; the Road
from the Village of Berry Pomeroy to Glaze Gate in the same Parish, and from
thence to Five Lanes in the Parish of Mardon, and from Glaze Gate to or near
the said Village of Collaton ; another Piece of Road from the Village of
Langcombe in the said Parish of Berry Pomeroy to Galmpton Cross in the Parish
of Churston Ferrer's ; the Road from or near the Bottom of the Hill leading to
Bowdon in the said Parish of Totnes, to or near Luscombe Cross aforesaid ; the
Road from or near the Two Mile Stone near the Village of Blakemore in the

Parish, to or near New Bridge in the Parish of South Brent; and the Road from
or near Woodland Farm House in the Parish of Ugborough, to or near Barns Hill
Gate in the same Parish, all in the said County of Devon, may be discontinued,
and the said Trustees discharged from the Repairs thereof, without
Inconvenience to the Public: And whereas it would he of public Utility if the
said Trustees were empowered to divert and alter the Course and, Direction of
several other Parts of the Roads comprized in the said Acts, and also to take
down and remove certain Market Houses, Buildings, and Obstructions in the Towns
of Newton Abbott and Totnes, in Manner hereinafter provided : And whereas the
Bridge over the River Dart, called Totnes Bridge, is very ancient, narrow,
inconvenient, and dangerous for the Passage of Persons, Carriages, and Cattle
over the same, to the great Injury of the Inhabitants of the said Towns of
Totnes and Bridgetown Pomeroy, and Persons passing over the same Bridge. : And
whereas the Mayor and Burgesses of the Borough of Totnes for the Time being are
subject and liable to the Repairs of the said Bridge, but the only Funds under their
Control which are applicable to the Repairs thereof are some small Chief Rents,
amounting in the Whole to Three Pounds Five Shillings and Sixpence per Annum,
and no more, and the said Mayor and Burgesses are therefore unable to rebuild
or effectually to repair the same ; and it would be a great Convenience to the
Inhabitants of the said Towns of Totnes and Bridgetown Pomeroy, and Parts
adjacent, and of public Utility, if the said Bridge was properly widened,
improved, and repaired, or if the same was taken down, and a good and
substantial Bridge built near the Site thereof :
George Farwell of Totnes (clerk to the trust) reported
There are 43.5 miles of road thru 16 parishes – all repaired by the
trustees (plus parts thru towns and county bridges – amount to about 2 miles
done by parishes)
12 toll gates and one on
