Sedgefield Heritage Trail
You are on the old Turnpike Road (10)

This road through Sedgefield was part of the Durham Turnpike leading to Stockton and Wolviston.  A tollgate stood further down the road. It was probably located on the site of the old cemetery, near to the original junction between the Stockton and Wolviston roads. The tollgate was still in use in 1850.
