Description
Steanor Bottom Toll House is a toll house for the former Todmorden Turnpike Road. It is constructed of hammer-dressed stone with a stone slate roof and stands two storeys high, featuring a semi-octagonal plan. The two outer faces of the building are blind, while the three sides facing the road present a symmetrical appearance. The doorway is framed by large tie-stones, and above it is a semi-circular recess that matches the size of the windows, complete with a projecting sill and plain surrounds. Inside this recess is an exact replica of the toll board, which reads: 'TODMORDEN TURNPIKE ROADS STEANOR BOTTOM BAR Tolls to be taken at this Bar under the Local Act: 1st & 2nd Geo. 4. cap.III.' Below this is a list of tolls. Each floor has a single light semi-circular headed window, sashed with 16 panes. The return walls are watershot and feature quoins. The roof has gutter brackets and a tripartite hip. At the rear, there is one dressed stack and a single-storey extension that is in keeping with the original design, dating from around 1980. This building is a classic example of a toll house.
