Batheaton Toll Bridge
Bathampton Toll Bridge is an Arch bridge carrying a road across the River Avon to the east of Bath. It is a Grade II listed building.
The bridge was built of Bath stone by Hickes and Isaac in 1872, for the Bridge Company Turnpike Trust. It has nine pointed arches, three larger ones in the centre and three smaller ones at either end. The north end was built over an earlier bridge and mill leat. The first version of the bridge was built in the 1850s and replaced a ford and ferry.
This is taken from the far side approach to the bridge which is free to walk over and explore!!
