GROUP 3 – LONDON TO HOLYHEAD INTRODUCTION 11.18 The repeals in this Group relate to a number of obsolete enactments providing for the finance, construction, repair and maintenance of the roads between London and Holyhead (in Anglesey). Tolls under the turnpike legislation continued to be charged on parts of these roads until 1895. 152 11.19 The origins of the road between London and Holyhead pre-date the Roman occupation of Britain. Ancient tracks already existed when the Romans paved the route from London through St Albans to Wroxeter (near Shrewsbury) around 65AD, with one section proceeding to Holyhead and another going via Chester to Scotland. The London to Wroxeter part of this road was known as Watling Street and is today the route of the A5 road. 153 145 13 & 14 Vict. c.xlix. 146 13 & 14 Vict. c.lxxxiv. 147 13 & 14 Vict. c.lxxxv. 148 15 & 16 Vict. c.xcii. 149 17 & 18 Vict. c.lxxi. 150 21 & 22 Vict. c.xlix. 151 24 & 25 Vict. c.xxvii. 152 The last remaining turnpike trust in England and Wales closed on 1 November 1895. The trust covered the Anglesey portion of the Shrewsbury to Holyhead road: Shrewsbury and Holyhead Road (Anglesey and Carnarvon) Act 1890 (c.clxxxv), s 1, Sch. 153 Watling derives from the Anglo-Saxon name Waecelinga. Watling Street also ran from London through Canterbury to Dover, today the route of the A2. 340
11.20 The end of the Roman administration in the early 5 th century was followed by a long period of neglect when the road fell into disrepair. As from the early 18 th century turnpike trusts were set up to repair parts of the road. 154 However, the turnpikes were organised in a piecemeal manner, with no single body in control of the entire route. Instead the London to Holyhead road was controlled by seven different turnpike trusts. The road started in London with an arch so low that a moderately low stage wagon could not pass through it, and finished with excessive gradient changes across Snowdonia and a treacherous crossing at Menai. In 1781, the Coventry to Birmingham road (turnpiked in 1723-1745) was regarded as being as bad as the Birmingham to Dudley Road which was considered despicable beyond description. 11.21 By the early 19 th century, however, the need to shorten the journey time (three days) between Holyhead and London had become urgent. The stretch between Holyhead and Shrewsbury was the most difficult and included a ferry journey across the Menai Straits to reach or leave Anglesey. Moreover the union with Ireland in 1800 155 meant that the 100 newly-elected Irish MPs needed a safer and quicker route to the Westminster Parliament. 156 11.22 In 1810 Thomas Telford, the surveyor of public works for Shropshire, was commissioned by the British Government to report on the state of the roads between London and Holyhead. The following year he presented Parliament with his plan to rebuild the 260 mile route. These plans included the building of the Menai and Conwy Suspension Bridges. In 1815 Parliament approved his plans and passed legislation that granted £20,000 for the repair and rebuilding of the road. 157 Existing turnpike trusts were deployed for part of this rebuilding work. Thomas Telford’s work on the road, including improving its route, was largely completed by 1826, the year when his Menai Suspension Bridge was opened. 11.23 Although Thomas Telford reduced the journey time of the mail coach between Holyhead and London from three days to 27 hours, the project was costly. The supervision of the Holyhead Road Commission meant that individual turnpike trusts had little say in the decisions affecting their roads even though they had to bear the cost. Moreover, just 12 years after the London to Holyhead turnpike road was finished, it was superseded by superior technology. In 1846 the Chester to Holyhead railway opened and the mail moved to the railways. The turnpike trusts were ultimately all wound up by the end of the 19 th century. 154 For example the St Albans and South Mimms Turnpike Trust was established in 1715, responsible for 11 miles of road from South Mimms to Shafford. 155 The Act of Union 1800 unified Great Britain and Ireland. 156 Improving the links between Holyhead and London was also necessary for speeding up the carrying of mail between Ireland and London. Holyhead had long been a port used for the transit of such mail. 157 55 Geo.3 c.152 (Holyhead Roads Act). 341
