Description
Scarcroft Toll Bar is an unoccupied toll-bar house located at the junction with Wetherby Road. It dates from the early to mid-19th century and is constructed from hammer-dressed stone with a stone slate roof. The building is single storey and consists of two cells, with direct entry into the second cell. The doorway features a monolithic lintel and a six-panel door with raised-and-fielded panels. To the left of the doorway is a small window with a lintel and a projecting sill. There is a ridge stack at the junction of the two cells. The right-hand return has a window with a lintel and projecting sill, which retains a deep chamfer and a four-pane sash. The left-hand return has a small opening with a ventilated board, likely a coal chute.
This toll bar was part of the former Collingham Turnpike, established around 1826, which was part of the Leeds-Wetherby Turnpike. The building's existence in 1841 is confirmed by the Census from that year, which lists Marmaduke Dickinson, aged 65, as the toll collector at Scarcroft Bar.
