More road history websites

The Internet has huge numbers of websites, or sections of websites, devoted to the history of roads – often created by local enthusiasts.

Here are links to a few of them (all opening in a new tab):

Huddersfield: https://huddersfield.exposed/wiki/Category:Turnpike_roads: this site has articles on nearly all the turnpike roads in the district, as well as items on related topics

Rastrick (Brighouse): Turnpike roads in Rastrick: https://myrastrick.com/turnpike-road-in-rastrick/

Scarcroft (north-east of Leeds): The three milestones of Scarcroft: http://www.thornerhistory.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/ms-scarcroft-Ver4.pdf

Wikipedia can also be also a mine of useful information. There are, for example, extensive articles on the Richmond and Lancaster Turnpike, and the Keighley and Kendal Turnpike.
