More about this scene
Now on the B3254 to Bude, St Stephens Hill was one of the roads administered by the Turnpike Trust, who set the tolls. There were as many types of wagon, cart or carriage as there are models of cars today, and a toll board for 1835, now on show in Launceston Museum, refers to 'any Coach, Chariot, Stage Coach, Barouch, Sociable, Phaeton, Breal, Diligence, Omnibus, Berlin, Landau, Chaise, Curricle, Calash, Chair, Caravan, Hearse, Litter Car, Gig or any other such like Carriage'. Tollkeepers were paid the princely sum of 5s a week.
