Description

Toll Road to Blyth which branches from the Newcastle to Morpeth Road (HER ref. 1067) at Fisher Lane. It forms part of the County boundary with Fisher Lane turnplike (HER ref. 1069). The route survives between the existing Petrol Station and Holiday Inn. The road has been realigned at its junction on the east of Fisher Lane but the old route survives disused. The road now forms a link between Fisher Lane and south Cramlington, giving access to Arcot Hall Golf Club.
