Bridge Cottage, River Wensum, Costessey Nestling close to the river and the site of an old Toll Bridge, this cottage would have been the toll keeper's residence. The bridge looks to have been collecting tolls as late as 1905, run by a private company. It was not part of the turnpike system and would originally obviated some turnpike miles to Norwich.
