The old road running north out of Carey. Probably of high
antiquity, and forming part of a route from
Hereford to Hoarwithy Passage, it was turnpiked by the
Hereford Trust in 1730. The route ceased to be used around
1840. |

Carey on the
tithe map. The Cottage of Content, then the Miners Arms is
number 47 and the smithy number 48. The road runs north-east
from from the smithy and forms the parish boundary (the red
line). Both businesses would have serviced
travellers on the turnpike. |
