History of Toll Gate Cottage

Listed Building:

Cottage. Late C18, C20 renovation.

The Cambridge Road was turnpiked in Abington 1765 – 1876. The C18 saw stage coaches, and there were some coaching inns in Abington. For example the White Hart Inn run by the Lagdens, closed 1797. (MoC note)

A small, one-story thatched cottage with light-colored walls and a central chimney stands by a road behind a wooden fence.
