 To recover the costs Reibey was allowed to charge a toll, assisted by a toll house and by turnpikes at the bridge's ends.On construction the toll was mandated as 1d per person, 1s per wagon or carriage, 4d per unladen beast and 1/2d per calf, sheep, pig or lamb.The elder Reibey died before the bridge was completed and his son and executor Thomas Reibey acquired his father's rights, collecting the tolls after the bridge was completed.
