Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Whitchurch toll bridge This is one of only two toll bridges remaining across the Thames, the other being at Eynsham. The bridge is owned by The Company of Proprietors of Whitchurch Bridge, which is a private Company established by the Whitchurch Bridge Acts of 1792 and 1988. The company is obliged to maintain a crossing here, and is empowered to raise tolls to do so, in perpetuity.
Tolls are collected, technically at any time but usually from 7am to 9pm at the toll house here at the northern end of the bridge. The toll for a car is now 20p, but the three increases I can remember have gone from 2p to 6p to 10p to 20p in about 10 years. However, increased tolls will be necessary to carry out the plan to reconstruct the bridge in 2013. There is a very interesting website here http://www.whitchurchbridge.com/index.html |
