A roadside settlement with little to catch the eye of the motorized passer-by, nevertheless there was once a tollgate at this spot that 1839 was twice destroyed by local protesters who, under the name of Rebecca, employed direct action to deal with a system of road taxation that threatened their livelihoods. Much of the present housing in Efailwen is C20th, the original simple dwellings having presumably not lasted too well.
