Abstract:		 In the eighteenth century there were close manufacturing and trade ties between Otley and Knaresborough. The principal route linking the two towns along the Wharfe valley had run through Weeton township since medieval times, and was joined there by another well-established road from Bradford and Leeds to the north. Despite the importance of these routes, they were not improved when many other major routes in Yorkshire were turnpiked in the 1750s. When parliamentary enclosure came to Weeton, in 1793, the enclosure commissioners took the opportunity to abandon the ancient routes. Their new roads, with easy gradients, improved communications with neighbouring parishes as well as with Otley and Knaresborough. Although a new turnpike road along the Wharfe valley was built nearly fifty years later, the road network put in place by the enclosure award has remained essentially unchanged to this day.
