Description

Woodend Toll Bar Cottage is an early 19th-century house that was originally a toll bar cottage. It is built of dressed stone and features a slate roof with a brick chimney. This small, one-storey house has a canted end and a lean-to extension on the right side. The entrance door has an arched square-cut stone surround and an overlight, with similarly dressed and arched window openings on the canted sides, which contain 20th-century casements. The roof is hipped. A 19th-century photograph in A. Holt's "Story of Mossley," published in 1926, shows the original interlaced glazing bars.
