Engraving of Annery House, Monkleigh, North Devon, post 1872. Viewed from the east bank of the River Torridge in Weare Giffard parish, looking westward. Halfpenny Bridge was built as a toll bridge in 1835;(Scrutton, Susan, Lord Rolle's Canal, Great Torrington, 2006, p.23) part of the toll-house is visible to the extreme right on the river bank. The battlemented Annery Kiln with its ramp is visible on the far bank. Between Annery Kiln and the road can be seen the railway line opened in 1872 (Scrutton, Susan, Lord Rolle's Canal, Great Torrington, 2006, p.73) which followed the course of the former Rolle Canal. A train with 6 carriages is visible to the left travelling downstream towards Bideford.
