Records of Cardiganshire Turnpike Trusts.
Cardiganshire received its first Turnpike Act in 1770. This
allowed for the establishment of Turnpike Trusts, which
could collect a toll in exchange for providing and
maintaining roads. The Act divided the county into two, the
boundary between the Lower and Upper Roads Boards being
roughly from Lampeter to the mouth of the river Aeron.
