The Toll-houses of Cornwall

Meer over het boek

Cornwall's toll-houses were small buildings, housing the pike-men who collected the tolls that paid for road maintenance. This guide is illustrated with black and white photographs of surviving buildings, maps and illustrations. Starting with a brief history of the turnpike system, it includes a gazetteer of the countyâ€s toll-houses from west to east, and discusses their construction and distinctive features.
