Former toll-house, Manchester Road, Milnsbridge, Linthwaite
Image: © Humphrey Bolton Taken: 6 Dec 2007
This was a toll-house on the new turnpike road from Crosland Moor Bottom to Marsden, which opened in August 1832. The house was probably built around that date. Its position is such as to catch traffic coming down Pinfold Lane from the Lockwood direction. It has a blank stone tablet over the door. The house was derelict in 1991, but has thankfully been restored.
