Toll Cottage originall from Beeding in Sussex now at the Weald and Downland Museum. Toll cottages were provided on turnpike roads in the 18th and 19th centuries for the collection of tolls from passing traffic. The money was used for road maintenance. The Georgian 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. Toll rules.
