Description

The Tollhouse at Whitchurch Bridge is a bridge tollhouse built in 1792 by John Treacher. It is constructed of painted brick and features a plain clay tile roof with gabled ends and brick gable-end stacks. The building has a small rectangular plan, with the entrance located at the north gable-end and a porch on the east side facing the bridge carriageway.

The exterior is two storeys high and nearly symmetrical on the east front, showcasing two and three-light casement windows with leaded panes. A central brick gabled porch contains a doorway on the right-hand return. The right-hand gable-end features a central round-headed doorway with a semi-circular fanlight, large imposts, and a keystone supporting a pedimental hood, above which is a decorative diaper pattern in the brickwork. Additional casement windows are present at the rear and on the south gable-end.

The interior appears to have largely 20th-century joinery. Historically, the first bridge was built in timber in 1792 by Act of Parliament, based on designs by John Treacher, who was the surveyor to the Thames Commissioners. It was rebuilt in wood in 1852, and the current Whitchurch Bridge is a steel structure completed in 1902.
