Landowners had a statutory duty to provide labour to repair roads, as evidenced by the summons below from May 1811. It also has some notes on the reverse dated 1816 relating to repairs, including a reference to paying for 13 pints of Ale.
The letter below dated September 1824 also concerns repairs to turnpikes, warning that the landowners were left to repair what the Turnpike Trust had built.
