Toll House At East End Of Mythe Bridge

The toll house at the east end of Mythe Bridge was built between 1826 and 1830, likely designed by Thomas Telford's office. It is constructed from coursed lias stone with limestone dressings and features a slate roof. The building has a long, cross-gabled plan with the entrance at the upper street level. A 20th-century two-storey wing has been added at the river end, along with a flat-roofed single-storey extension at the back on the lower level.

The front of the toll house has a central flat octagonal bay, flanked by 2-light mullioned casements with 4-centred heads made of dressed stone, set flush with alternating quoins. There is a six-panel door with a 4-centred head and small square lights on the splayed returns. On either side of the bay and at the gable ends, there are square limestone buttresses with narrow panels leading to pointed heads, topped with pinnacles that rise to the cross-gabled roof. The building features a weathered plinth and eaves adorned with a continuous course of crocket-like stone brackets, which extend into the shallow central gable.

The left side of the building has a 2-light casement on each level, while the right side has a 2-light above a flat-roofed extension. The rear of the toll house mirrors the front in detail but includes a 2-light casement at the first floor in the slightly projecting gable. The flat-roofed extension across the ground floor connects to the new two-storey wing. Despite these extensions, the toll house remains unaltered on its street-facing front and is positioned across from the turnpike shelter on the opposite side of the road.
