Description
This is an early 19th-century toll house, situated on the Garstang to Heiring Syke Turnpike, established by an Act of 1750. It stands with a pair of turnpike gate piers on each side of the road. The toll house is constructed of squared sandstone rubble with a slate roof and overhanging eaves. The gable end, facing the road, is two storeys high in the centre, with a single storey on each side. Small windows with glazing bars are situated to either side of the central bay. A two-storey bay to the centre has modern windows with plain reveals, and to its right is a doorway with a plain stone surround and cornice hood. The gate piers are constructed of limestone and are circular in plan. The eastern pier, adjacent to the toll house, has an iron cap with a central threaded pivot for the gate projecting upwards. The pier on the opposite side of the road has a rounded top.
