Old and new roads, Widham Bridge
The original course of the road before the railway (opened 1841) on the left, road over railway bridge on the right. The lower road on each side of the railway then served as approaches to Purton station, which closed in 1964, although the railway remains open.

Old Pike House, Station Road, Purton, table of tolls
This plaque is attached to the front of The Old Pike House. Image Quite a complex set of prices dependent on some curious factors. It must have been a nightmare to administer. The plaque is undated but the style suggests late 18th century.

Old Pike House, Station Road, Purton
The property was a toll-house and has the typical front extension to afford views up and down the turnpike for travellers. Visible on the front of the extension is a board providing information on prices. Image Although the building is early 19th century, the turnpike it served, the Swindon, Calne and Cricklade Roads, were turnpiked from 1790 until 1879. The original name of the gatehouse was Collins Lane Gate and there would have been a gate or other barrier across the road. The tolls payable went towards maintaining the road.
Thanks to Trish Steel for the additional information.
