Full Description
Small tollhouse, known as Tollbar, in angle of Pincushion Drove and Wisbech Road. Rectangular; single storey rendered exterior.
(S1) shows no building here but shows Pincushion Drove as a dotted line.
(S2) shows a building on this site, unnamed, and Pincushion Drove as Old Bardolph Drove.
(S3) does not show the tollhouse but marks Old Bardolph House at the other end of the drove.
This raises a question, was this really a tollhouse or a lodge for Old Bardolph House?
E. Rose (NLA), 23 September 2003.
The 1861 census records a toll collector and taylor living at Turnpike Toll House in Outwell [1]. This is presumed to be a reference to this building as the entry in question is followed by one for The Plough Inn – a Public House that stood approximately 550m to the south-east, at TF 5390 0238.
H. Henderson (HES), 25 August 2026.
