Description
The Toll House is a toll house built in 1849 for Sir Joseph William Copley, with 20th-century additions. It is constructed of dressed sandstone and has an asphalt roof. The building is single storey with a half basement and consists of three bays. It features a plinth and chamfered ashlar quoins. The central bay projects forward and has a renewed panelled door set in an architrave. The flanking bays contain renewed casement windows with glazing bars, blocks to moulded sills, and architraves. An ashlar frieze and a deep cornice with a blocking course are present. There is a moulded plinth to the renewed central stack with tabling. The right return mirrors the outer bays, while the left return and rear have altered fenestration. A 20th-century garage addition to the left is not of special interest. Tolls collected here for passage over Sprotbrough Bridge were reportedly donated by the Copley family to the Doncaster Dispensary.
