HISTORY: In 1848 the toll for horse drawn carriages was 6d, many hotels paid a lump sum to avoid annoyance to their visitors (Ellis, p.371). An illustration reproduced in Ellis (p.373) shows a gabled porch on the front to the right. A lantern is attached to this and was swung round at night. The right end stack is shown with a tall octagonal stone shaft. The collection of tolls was eventually transferred to a toll-house at the end of King's Drive, to avoid the irritation of an interrupted drive along this picturesque road.
