Old toll house, Shortbank Road
This toll house presents a problem in that it doesn't quite match with the history of the turnpike road that passed by the door. Shortbank Road was the turnpike road from Skipton to Addingham for a relatively short period from 1755 to 1820 after which an easier route was taken along much of the line now followed by the A65. The building is grade 2 listed, but its date is given as early 19thC. A mid 18thC date would have established it as a turnpike toll house, but the later date causes doubt. A local source suggests that the toll house was there to collect dues from the traffic coming down the hill from sandstone quarries on the moor edge. This is possible, but needs further research.

The Old Toll House, Short Bank Road, Skipton
See also Image Listed Grade II (list entry 1131860). This road out of Skipton now peters out into a footpath over the moors, but was originally the 1755 Skipton to Ilkley turnpike road. The listing dates the toll house to early 19th century, rather later than the construction of the road.
