The Upper Beeding Toll Cottage was built in 1807 to control what records called 'the new turnpike road to avoid Beeding Hill, from Beeding through Old Shoreham'. It ceased operation in 1885, as the road had become less used after the opening of the railway line from Shoreham to Horsham in 1861. The cottage became tea-rooms until 1901. It was dismantled in 1968 after severe damage by a lorry, and reconstructed at Singleton in 1970.
