TF0008 : Toll Bar, Little Casterton

taken 8 years ago, near to Great Casterton, Rutland, England

Toll Bar, Little Casterton
Toll Bar, Little Casterton
In practice the location is more part of Great Casterton than Little Casterton, but it actually lies in the latter parish. The name of this part of the village indicates that there was a toll gate at this location on the old Great North Road. Although now no longer part of the A1, it is still a busy road as it provides convenient access northwards from Stamford to the modern A1.
A1 & A1(M), Great North Road

The A1 is the longest numbered road in the UK at 410 miles long. It connects London with Edinburgh, via the east of England.
For much of its path it follows the Great North Road the old coaching route between London and Edinburgh. Several sections of the route are classified as motorway A1(M). The modern A1 bypasses the towns the Great North Road passed through and is dual carriageway for most of its route through England.
