Rosemary Burchill said: “The mystery photo this week is the old Toll House on the Bristol/Chew Magna Road. It still has the Post Box next to the front door and is currently up for sale.”
“A much easier one this week – The Toll House at Stanton Drew”, said Martin Horler. Well done to Martin for guessing correctly.
Well done to Jonathan Griffin, who said: “Hi folks, this week we're looking at the old toll house on the Pensford to Chew Magna road at Stanton Drew. Google Maps call it 'The Round House' but it is, in fact, hexagonal.”
Eric Brain guessed correctly, provided further interesting information and a link to an online video for us to gain more knowledge about the Toll House. He said: “Easy one this week; the Round House at Stanton Drew. Built as a turnpike house in late 1700s, which it was for 80 years. See a most interesting YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzCMjSgFVK4”.
