Statute labour accounts regarding the building of the Holyhead road (for the district from Bangor to [sic.]Cernioge, Llanefydd

The responsibility for maintenance of the main roads was placed on the parishes under the Highways Act of 1555. " Statute labour " on the roads became obligatory-the parish inhabitants being required to work on the roads annually without payment, for a stipulated period-and the appointment of unpaid Surveyors of the roads within the parishes was required. This marks an important step in the history of the development of highway administration.
