Photographed towards the western edge of the town, at the junction with Woodlands Avenue. According to a local history site, the first turnpike affecting Tadcaster was the Doncaster and Tadcaster Turnpike in 1740 which entered Tadcaster along Stutton Road. The toll gate or turnpike is believed to have been here where Woodlands Avenue now joins Stutton Road, shown as Stutton Cross on the 1849 OS map. https://www.tadhistory.org.uk/history/transport/roads/the-turnpike-trusts-draft
