DescriptionOriginal description for 101/B5 also relates to this item, which evidently had its number changed during the process of listing to 101/O1. Description for 101/B5 reads: Volume labelled on cover Downham & Ely Turnpike Road No. 3 containing: (i) (?) carrier's accounts giving clients' names and brief details of goods but rarely stating commodities, destination, weight (in cwt. qrs. and lbs.) and charge for journeys apparently 'down' from London to Cambridge, Wisbech and Kings Lynn and 'up' to Cambridge, 2 - 12 May 1792. From subsequent use of book it seems most likely that these derive from an Ely carrier, though one of the Ely clients is the waggoner Fussey (1st 8 fos. only, subsequently sewn up). 1792 (ii) Ledger of Richard Pigott of Ely, attorney, for legal business including also accounts of assignment of tolls on Littleport & Downham Turnpike (fo. 334 - 5) and some accounts to Pigott pinned in in part payment of accounts (e.g. by Wm. Royle, surgeon, 1801 - 5). Some accounts due for business dating back to 1787. 1800 - 1811 (iii) Notes of business at manorial courts of Sutton, Mepal, Ely Porta, Downham, Stretham, Littleport, Ely Barton, Wilburton, Wentworth, Witchford, Witcham, Stuntney, Chewells in Haddenham and Coveney with members by Richard Pigott and Henry Pigott, 1805 - 1813
