The bridge is a Grade II listed building and is one of two remaining private toll bridges across the River Thames - there is no charge for pedestrians, cyclists or motorcycles.
There has been a bridge on the site since 1792. The structure was renewed in 1852, 1902 and most recently in 2014. The original charges were a halfpenny each for pedestrians, sheep, boars and pigs, and two pence for each and every wheel of a carriage.
