Description
Wilford Bridge Toll House is a bridge toll house that has been converted into a shop. It was built in 1870 by E.W. Hughes and underwent restoration around 1975. The building is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings and features a hipped slate roof, along with an external rear wall stack. It is designed in the Gothic Revival style and includes a plinth and a corbel table adorned with fleurons. The toll house is two storeys high and consists of a single bay with an elongated octagonal plan.
The windows are pointed arched glazing bar casements with tracery, set in moulded ashlar surrounds with shafts. On the side facing the bridge, there is a moulded brick pointed arched opening divided by a stone lintel, with a ticket window to the left and a doorway to the right. The tympanum features a toll board dated 1826, and there is another window to the left. Above, there is a lead-clad dormer with a similar window, and each return has a similar window and dormer. The interior has been refitted as a shop in the late 20th century. The original bridge was a cast-iron structure designed by Andrew Handyside of Derby.
