History
The cottage was built around 1817, and was thatched in the late 1800's. It was the old Toll house for the bridge that used to cross the River Wensum in the days when there was no public crossing at Costessey Mill. The bridge was broken by a traction engine carrying paper from the mill at Taverham in the late 19th century. It was further damaged in 1924 by a fire engine crossing responding to a fire at Costessey Mill. By 1927 the old toll bridge had collapsed

and was demolished in the 1950's. The cottage was last lived in the early 1980's.
