Toll Cottage from Beeding in Sussex
Toll cottages were provided on turnpike roads in the 18th and 19th centuries for
the collection of tolls from passing traffic, the money being used to repair and maintain
the road. The cottage from Beeding was built on a new road established in 1807. Nearby is
a milestone from the same road, marking the distance to London as 54 miles.
