1800's - York turnpike gate, toll booth, bar and inn (UK) as it looked during the coaching era. The first Turnpike Acts were passed in the late 1600's but by the mid 1830's, around 22,000 miles of English roads were managed by turnpike trusts. They were discontinued in the 1870's when the Highways Board took over responsibility.
