An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The toll-gates on the roads of the Old World are manned and maintained by Toll-Keepers, who live in a house by the side of the road. The toll-gate system is supposed to be a method for maintaining the roads and paying for the Roadwardens; instead, the gates themselves are often the scenes of violence, robbery, and murder, as Outlaws rob the Toll-Keeper. Equally often, road users themselves, with whom this form of road tax is far from popular, decide to kill the keeper and destroy the toll-gate. The Toll-Keeper must cope with the hostility of everyone who passes his home or take up some less-loathed form of employment. Toll-Keepers who live on rivers and collect tolls for the use of locks are known as Lock-Keepers.
