Toll Money

A Memory of Sandwich.

Sandwich Town relied on its toll money taken on the bridge, which was used purely for the town's benefit alone and it became wealthy over the years because of it.  During the 1960s I think it was, Sandwich came under the jurisdiction of Dover and was asked to hand over the money in its coffers at the turnover.
The Town Councillors decided that this was not to be and put it to the townspeople what they wanted them to do with the money they had.  
Everyone got very excited, us kids wanted an ice-rink, or a swimming pool and our parents duly put these suggestions along with theirs.
As was to be expected we got neither - we got a new Town Hall.
