Eynsham Toll Bridge
The toll bridge is a real curiosity with cars charged 5p and multi-axle vehicles a bit more. The fees are collected by hand by collectors who stand in a small pay booth. When they have a sizable bag of cash they take it into the toll hose. Around 10,000 vehicles cross the bridge each day because its a useful short-cut. We were amazed that nearly all drivers had the right change!
Three thirds of real ale
