Greetings, br
           
    No, horses and carts paid tolls instead. I'm
currently doing some research on local history. Before local councils
were set up, most districts had Roads Boards, which not only charged
rates, but also levied tolls on road users. This system lasted for
several decades, and like tolls of a later era was met with degrees of
abuse of the toll-keepers and evasion. Thought that might interest
you. br Regards, br
