Tolls are still being collected to cross the bridge between Pangbourne and Whitchurch-on-Thames. An information board with historical tolls was attached to the side of the toll booth. Every "foot" counted so a local resident told us farmers used to drive their animals to a low point in the river where they could cross without paying a toll.
As we were dining at The Elephant, we glanced through the door to spot a steam driven asphalt paver.
