Former Road Toll House at Newbury Street Gate, now The Tollhouse, No. 69, Newbury Street, WANTAGE (VALE OF WHITE HORSE District). The principal structure is thought to have been built for the Besselsleigh Turnpike Trust in 1833 in the form of a vernacular house. Currently domestic property with some additions or alteration to the original tollhouse structure on the A338, Wantage to Hungerford road. External features; two-storeys on rectangular floor plan, having a hipped roof, with walls mainly of brick, roofed in slate, square headed windows with casements, a blocked front with a masonry replacement to the doorway; simple brick cottage beside road. The original rectangular building is adjacent to the road and there is a more recent extension to the rear; the brickwork is painted white. The door is at the junction with the extension and there are no surviving doors on the roadside. Without the documentary evidence this would not be recognisable as a tollhouse. Not Listed. NGR: SU 3986 8747: Tollhouse National ID: OX.WAN (see turnpikes.org.uk)
