    There is a sign attached to the house showing the toll that had to be paid on Barnards Road, which connects Egton Bridge to Grosmont.

      The Toll Cottage (sometimes referred to as the gatehouse) is linked to the Egton Manor estate, which is Grade II listed and dates to the 18th–19th centuries. This reflects the wider turnpike movement in Yorkshire, when landowners invested in better roads and recouped costs through tolls. Egton Bridge itself was a key crossing on the River Esk, and the toll road linked inland moorland communities with Whitby’s port, vital for trade in alum, jet, and agricultural goods.
