Description
This toll sign, dating from 1758, was repositioned in 1960. It features a triangular-shaped slate sign set on an ashlar wall with stone copings. A brass plaque attached to the wall reads, "Scale of charges taken from the toll house of the Old Cavendish Bridge, built 1758 and washed away in 1947. Re-erected in this position by the County Councils of Derby and Leicester in 1960." The slate plaque above has incised painted lettering and carved patterns on either side. The inscription begins, "Tolls taken at the BRIDGE by Virtue of an Act of Parliament, being the same that were taken at the Ferry vis ..." and lists the charges for various types of vehicles, foot passengers, and animals.
