Category A Listed toll house by John Rennie (the Elder 1761-1821) built presumably about the same time as the bridge 1800-1803. To repay the construction loan, the bridge was tolled until riots prompted their abandonment. Reports vary on the date of abandonment from 1854 the year of the riots to 1857 3 years after.
