Halfpenny Bridge - River Thames, Gloucestershire
This bridge, which now carries the busy road to Swindon and the South, is called Halfpenny Bridge, this being the amount of the toll levied. From the records it appears that foot tolls were levied until 1839, and tolls on cattle until 1885 or later. The tollhouse still stands on the bridge and forms part of the eastern parapet. The far side of the bridge gives access to a path, which runs, along the southern bank of the river.
