Bridge and tollhouse. A handsome 3-span bridge with dressed stone arch rings and coursed rubble spandrels and wing walls. The arches are segmental, the centre being slightly longer than the other two, with rounded cutwaters. The tollhouse is a neat hexagonal structure with columns flanking the door. Owing to increasing traffic this house fell out of use in the 1980s and became derelict. To allow the approach to the bridge to be improved, the tollhouse was carefully deconstructed and rebuilt some eight metres from its original site and on the existing axis with the bridge under the auspices of the NESPT.
