Scotswood Bridge, Toll House

Opened in 1831, the tollhouse building for Scotswood Bridge, located on the north bank of the River Tyne, is identified on the 2nd edition Ordnance Survey mapping. A photograph from the Newcastle Photo Archive dating to the 1860s looks south across the Tyne towards the bridge shows the toll house buildings. Tolling of the Scotswood Bridge ended in the late 1940s and the toll house was demolished in the late 1960s as part of the construction of the current Scotswood Bridge.
