More about this scene
The first turnpike in Staffordshire was established in 1714. Even as late as 1728 the road south was worn deeply with heavy carriages. The nearest crossing over the Trent was at Darlaston, which until 1663 was too narrow to take horse-drawn vehicles: they had to take their chances fording the river. The Crown Inn became a scheduled stop for a number of long-distance stagecoaches.
