Description |
English: Daventry is at lower right in this plan of part of Northamptonshire, situated near large canal-feeder reservoirs. Turnpike roads are highlighted in buff throughout the area. The money raised by such toll roads, established during the coaching era of the 18th century, raised money that contributed significantly to the development of the transport infrastructure of the county. Transport links in this area were further developed by the opening of the Oxford, Warwick and Grand Junction canals (highlighted in blue), which allowed new settlements and trades to flourish..
