Rebecca wasn’t just angry—she was right. In 1840s Wales, tollgates bled poor farmers dry.
So “Rebecca and her daughters” rose up. They wore dresses. They smashed gates. They demanded justice and they won reforms.
A riot? Yes.
A turning point? Absolutely.

@Stubo37 I am only recently becoming aware of roads which were in general use for foot traffic to avoid the toll roads on the approaches to Edinburgh

@Stubo37 probably unnecessary as we don’t have any toll roads any more. But thanks for the offer 👍🏼
