Toll Bar Cottage

Toll Bar Cottage is a former tollhouse dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed from coursed square gritstone and features coped gables and moulded kneelers. The building has a central stone ridge stack with diagonally set ashlar chimneys on chamfered plinths, topped with moulded caps. The roof is stone slated. The cottage is single storey and consists of two bays, each with 2-light chamfer mullioned windows that have semi-circular heads, set beneath hoodmoulds with stops. The central doorway has a chamfered surround and a shallow pointed arched head, also below a hoodmould with stops, and is fitted with a planked and studded door. The windows have 20th-century joinery. This building is associated with the Sheffield to Manchester Turnpike, which began in the mid 18th century.
