Toll House At North-West End Of Whorlton Bridge

The toll house at the north-west end of Whorlton Bridge is a former toll house built around 1830, possibly designed by John and Benjamin Green. It features a front made of snecked sandstone with dressed quoins and rubble returns, topped by a roof of large Welsh slates. The single-storey building has a three-bay front with a chamfered plinth. A central gabled porch projects from the front, showcasing chamfered jambs, a Tudor-arched head, and a boarded door located behind a low toll gate. The windows on either side of the porch have 20th-century casements set in chamfered reveals, while the left side has a similar three-pane window. An external stack with a cornice rises from the rear wall. The low-pitched, hipped roof has deep eaves supported by restored beams, and the porch gable is adorned with a bargeboard and finial. There are 20th-century additions to the rear that are not of special interest.
