EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Teignmouth-Shaldon Toll Bridge in Devon, England, during the 1950s. The bridge, which spans the picturesque River Teign, connects the historic seaside town of Teignmouth with the quaint village of Shaldon. In this image, we see a line of vehicles and bicycles approaching the tollgate, where a toll collector stands ready to collect the fee for crossing. The use of tolls on roads and bridges dates back to the Middle Ages, with the first recorded toll bridge in England established in the 13th century. Turnpikes, which were toll roads that required travelers to pay a toll to use them, became popular in the 18th and 19th centuries as a means of funding road improvements. The Teignmouth-Shaldon Toll Bridge, which was built in 1827, is a fine example of this historical transport infrastructure. Despite the passage of time, the scene depicted in this photograph retains a timeless quality. The cyclists, dressed in clothing typical of the era, can be seen paying their tolls and preparing to continue their journeys. The vehicles, which include cars, motorcycles, and bicycles, add to the sense of movement and activity. The bridge itself, with its elegant arches and intricate tollgate, is a testament to the engineering prowess of the past. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of transport in Devon and the UK more broadly. It invites us to reflect on the ways in which our ancestors navigated the world around them and the infrastructure that enabled their journeys. Whether you are a local historian, a student of transportation history, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the past, this image is sure to capture your imagination and inspire further exploration.
