The ‘Ha’penny’ Bridge, Saltburn

A rather blurred image of ”The Ha’penny Bridge” (so called as the standard toll to cross was a half penny) at Saltburn taken from the boating pool; this beautiful Victorian edifice was destroyed for expedience’s sake in December 1974. Rodney Begg tells us: ” I can remember cycling across the bridge delivering paraffin to White House School and paying the toll to the gate-keeper at the bungalow on the far side in 1963.”
