Description:
Historic Ordnance Survey map evidence shows the course of the Sunderland to Stockton Toll Road. The northern end of this road is unclear on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey plan, but it probably ran south from the Wearmouth Bridge (HER ref. 2739). It crossed Barley Mow Bridge (HER ref. 3617), had a Toll House at Ryhope Bar (HER ref. 2948), and left the county where it crossed Ryhope Dene.
