Notes about this historic site
1 RLHRG quotes Bloxam as reporting that in 1813 the junction of the Bilton and Dunchurch roads had turnpike gates, belonging to the Rugby and Warwick Turnpike Trust.
2 However, there is no junction, although both roads join Warwick Street within yards of each other. It is assumed, therefore, that this is the site. There is no sign of the toll gate.
