The town · from the second age
The Toll collector
In their time
Tolls were charged on goods entering markets and towns, crossing bridges and using certain roads, under grants from the crown or a lord. The right to collect was often 'farmed' out: someone paid a fixed sum for it and kept what they gathered. Collectors stood at gates, bridges and market entrances, and disputes over who was exempt, such as burgesses of chartered towns, were a constant source of friction. Turnpike tolls on roads came much later.
