The Swinford toll bridge in Oxfordshire England sold today at auction in London for about $1.8m (1,080,000 pounds). The charming old stone arch bridge over the upper Thames located just west of the university city of Oxford is heavily used for its two narrow lanes  - over 10,000 vehicles average per day, so there is a good potential toll revenue stream. But the bridge's legal setting is an embodiment of English Eccentricity.
