Title: Opening of Kew Bridge free of toll. [Go to resource]
Description: It was decided in 1868 to make Kew Bridge free of tolls along with six other bridges between Surrey and Middlesex. Up until then the tolls had been 1/2d for each foot passenger and 6d for each horse both going and returning. This picture commemorates the celebrations of the ending of tolls in February 1873 Format: image/jpeg License: http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 Rights holder: ThamesPilot Subjects: Kew
