Viewed along Pike Road at a Y-shaped junction. Pike Road behind the camera continues on the right, so it appears that a toll had to be paid to use that road, whereas the road to Llanvaches on the left was free to use. Tolls on turnpike roads were abolished in the UK in 1872, after which the roads were maintained by local authorities.
