[quote=Tealeaf;925932]But that's exactly it, Walter - the dates. This stuff is all the later part of the 18C/early 19th -
Those routes I quoted were the old routes into Old Accy. The dates I gave are when those old highways were eventually made into proper roads.
Those routes must have been well used for them to have been made up, practically every river has a ford or a bridge some where along its route.
Tha lives nearer to public record office than what I do, go and have a look.
