Old toll house At the west end of Wentworth village is this tollhouse from the 6 mile long section of the Rotherham to Barnsley tollroad, 1764-1874.   After 3 miles, at Nether Haugh, the road turned westwards  through the Marquis of Rockingham's estates to join the Sheffield-Barnsley-Wakefield tollroad about 1½ miles further on.   This saved the expense of turnpiking a longer section of road through Brampton and Wombwell and so into Barnsley.
