Toll Bar Cottage

Toll Bar Cottage is an early 19th-century toll house located in Whatstandwell, Alderwasley. The building is constructed from regularly coursed gritstone rubble and features a plain shallow plinth, coped gables, a central ashlar stack, and plain club tiles with a slate eaves course. It is a single-storey structure with two bays. The doorway is situated at the west end, featuring a plain planked door beneath a shallow bracketed hood. There are two 2-light chamfer mullioned windows with flush surrounds, each beneath hoodmoulds with stops. The windows have 19th-century glazing bar casements, some of which include top hung vents. This toll house was previously linked to the Nottingham to Newhaven turnpike trust, established by an Act of Parliament in 1758.
