 | | It is likely that Chaucer's pilgrims used Watling Street to travel from Southwark to Canterbury in his Canterbury Tales. |
| | The road was finally re-paved in the early 19th century by Thomas Telford who brought it back into use as a tollpike road for use by mail coaches bringing mail to and from Ireland, his road being extended to the port of Holyhead in Wales. |
| | Most of the road is still in use today apart from a few sections where it has been diverted. |
