EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the iconic Halfway House Toll, a historic tollhouse that stands proudly along the Bath Road (A4) between Hungerford and Newbury. The striking appearance of this building, with its castellated design and rich history, makes it a well-known landmark in Berkshire.
Dating back to the 1930s, the Halfway House Toll is not just a building but a piece of England's transport history. As one of many tollhouses that once dotted turnpikes across the country, it serves as a reminder of how travel was regulated in centuries past.
The architectural beauty of this folly is evident in its intricate details and unique design. Its presence on the Bath Road adds character to an otherwise ordinary stretch of road, making it stand out as more than just another stop along the way.
Whether you're passing through Hungerford or Newbury, taking a moment to admire this historical gem is well worth it. The Halfway House Toll represents more than just a building - it symbolizes an era when roads were controlled by tolls and travelers had to pay their way through picturesque landscapes like those found in Berkshire.
So next time you find yourself driving down the A4, keep an eye out for this enchanting structure and appreciate the history that lies within its walls.
