History

This milestone in Withington was placed by the Manchester and Wilmslow Turnpike Trust. It stands opposite a pub named the Turnpike.

Wilmslow Road, Oxford Road and Oxford Street are part on an ancient route from Manchester to Oxford. This route can be traced on modern maps by locating roads which are called (or used to be called) the A34. New designations for this ancient route, including A3400 and A44, were assigned when motorways and bypasses took the A34 away from its original route. The route goes via Wilmslow, Congleton, Birmingham, Stratford-Upon-Avon, and Woodstock.

In the 18th Century, Turnpike Trusts were created by act of Parliament with powers to collect road tolls to maintain and improve the principal highways of Great Britain. One such was the Manchester and Wilmslow Turnpike Trust who were responsible for Wilmslow Road. In 1755, the Trust built the first stone bridge over the Mersey. This collapsed in 1756 and was rebuilt in 1758. The bridge was replaced again in 1780 and 1861.
