[edit] History
No date for the establishment of settlement of Tollerton has been determined but it was part of the old Royal Forest of Galtres until 1630.[1]
[edit] Amenities
Until recently, the village had a small railway halt, which was closed in the 1970s. Local landmarks include the railway itself, the Black Horse public house, the River Ouse and the nearby caravan park. There is also a Chinese restaurant called 'The Station Inn'.
Annually in August, the Tollerton Horticultural Show is held on the village recreation field. With exhibits including Home and Dairy, Farmers, Handicrafts, Photography and a Children's section, the show also includes fairground rides on the village green.
Every September, there is a mini horticultural show which is held in the Black Horse car park and which includes an exhibition of vegetables, flowers and cookery. After judging, all exhibits are auctioned off with the proceeds going towards a charity of the year or to help other people of the village.
