Nᴼ 1 Long Street, Topcliffe

Though not apparently using the appellation of "SE3975 : Old Toll Cottage, Topcliffe" today, the building was where the Toll Gate served the Boroughbridge & Durham Turnpike Trust in 1853. Confusingly there is SE4075 : The Toll Booth which was used for courts leet and market tolls. The base and steps of the Grade II listed Central (market) cross still stand near the post office SE4075 : Old Central Cross by the A167, Long Street, Topcliffe.

A168 near Topcliffe

Studying the map, the junction ahead is not really necessary, but it does enable travellers in the Dalton direction to avoid passing through Topcliffe. A bridleway crosses the bridge.
