What you see here is the top floor. Below, and backing onto the garden behind, is another storey. In what is now a large housing state known as The park, was the local stately home of the Copley family, Sprotbrough Hall, which was built by Sir Godfrey Copley in 1685. It was the Copley family who had the bridge built and collected the tolls.
