Neil Walker and David Clayton link up with BBC Local Radio stations around the country to report on toll booths ancient and modern.
To the modem motorist, toll charges can either be a quaint anachronism from a bygone age, or downright highway robbery on top of a road-fund licence.

And why should they provide such a fertile ground of imagery and inspiration for poets, novelists and film-makers?
