Description
Yealm Bridge Toll Hut is a toll-keeper's shelter built around the late 18th century or early 19th century. It is a small stone rubble hut, square in shape, featuring a very steeply pitched stone corbelled roof with a gable at the front. The front has an arched entrance, and there is a small square look-out opening on the west side. Inside, the hut is circular with a small square niche or blocked opening on the east side. At the time of the survey in 1983/4, the building was completely overgrown with ivy. This toll hut is located on the Plympton to Modbury section of the Modbury Trust turnpike, established under the Turnpike Act of 1759. It may have been constructed around that time or shortly thereafter, serving as the original toll-house before the Yealm Bridge Toll-house was built in the early 19th century to address toll evasion.
