Bamford Toll House

[adelphi]

Can anyone help in my search for the whereabouts of the Toll house in Bamford on the 1851 Census.
My ancestor John Archer was listed as the Toll Keeper then and his address was "Mytham Bridge" township of Bamford.
I would love to know if it is still standing so that I may visit.

I'm sure it will be, very little has changed at Bamford

Many thanks for your help. I can now go & look at the site. I have found out that the original bridge was swept away in a Flood on the  7th Aug. 1853 & rebuilt in 1857.
My ancestor was a Toll Keeper on the 1851 Census &  on a later Census was listed as living at Bradwell as an Innkeeper in the "White Hart Inn".

Do you have any reference to the house that the Toll Keeper would have lived in at the time?
