EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Sheffield City Archives showcases the historic Toll Bar House, located at the intersection of Pitsmoor Road and Burngreave Road. Built in 1836, this architectural gem replaced an earlier toll bar house dating back to 1759. The image beautifully captures the essence of this remarkable structure with its striking windows, well-maintained roofs, inviting doorways, and elegant chimneys. The Toll Bar House holds a significant place in Sheffield's history as it once featured gates that swung across both Pitsmoor Road and Burngreave Road. These gates served as a barrier for travelers passing through, ensuring they paid their tolls before continuing on their journey. This visual representation offers us a glimpse into the past when such structures played a crucial role in regulating traffic flow. The photograph is rendered in vibrant color, enhancing our appreciation for the intricate details and craftsmanship of this historical landmark. It serves as a testament to Sheffield's rich heritage and reminds us of how architecture can transcend time. It is important to note that this caption does not mention any commercial use or company associated with the print but rather focuses solely on describing the subject matter depicted within it – namely, Toll Bar House and its surrounding features along Burngreave Road in Pitsmoor.
