DEMOLISHED at great expense in 1974.
This was an impressive iron trestle bridge constructed by Hopkins, Gilkes and Co in 1868-9 to allow horse-drawn vehicles and pedestrians to cross Skelton Beck Glen at Saltburn-by-the-Sea. The name refers to the toll charged for pedestrians.
It was 800 ft long, having seven girder spans and eight cast-iron piers. It appears that Charles Willman was the designer.
See here for more information.
Some of the ironwork survived to be used for a small footbridge. See here.
