I also thought I had seen the picture before, it is published in Joyce Latham's book "The Forest of Dean Revisited" on page 112. The caption just say's Coalway turnpike 1888

The Humphrey Phelps books "The forest in old photographs" also has pictures fo the Whitecliff turnpike (Second edition- brown cover page 37) and the Poolway turnpike (first edition - green cover page 133) The caption for this one states "Sixpence would be a usual charge for a carriage house. Local cart traffic or going to church was exempt from toll".
