What would you have called the A59 in 1800?
What are the pennines?
I think the A59 would have been called a turnpike. It's the road to Preston and is still called Preston Road. There's still evidence of it being a toll road in earlier times.



The Pennines are a range of hills, small by your standards, stretching along the backbone of England. Pretty much seperates Lancashire from Yorkshire. They were considered quite dangerous.
