This is one of the first maps to accurately represent the roads of Lancashire. This section runs from Preston to Wigan (A49), and although Chorley is not covered, the roads leading to Chorley are shown.

By matching these roads to the current roads, we can date some of the lanes to as early as 1675.
​
Between Wigan and Standish, at milestone 197, you can see the current Wigan Lane to Duxbury.
