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
                Ray. br
