This photograph was taken at the Museum of Welsh Life. The tollhouse was built in 1772 and originally stood at Penparcau, near Aberystwyth. It consists of a single room as seen in this photograph, one end being used for the collection of tolls and a single fireplace at the opposite end for heating and cooking. The house has been furnished to around the year 1843, the period of the Rebecca Riots when many tollgates were destroyed. Text from: www.gtj.org.uk/item.php?lang=en&id=27203&t=1
