| Description | A fortunate chance has preserved in the collection a set of turnpike road records almost in its entirety. Josiah and William Fairbank were surveyors for the Sheffield and Glossop Turnpike Trust, and were followed by Marcus Smith, who afterwards bought their business, and who in this way brought the records back into the firm which helped to make them. The records consist of the following sections:
Minutes, 1818-1874 (FC/CPG/1)
Yearly accounts, 1827-1874 (FC/CPG/2)
Monthly accounts, 1846-1875 (FC/CPG/3-4)
