Description
Willey Toll House is a former toll house built in the early 19th century, with an extension added in the mid-19th century. The building features red brick, which is partly stuccoed and partly whitewashed, and has a plain-tile pyramidal roof with a central stack on the original section, while the extension has a plain-tile roof with a brick end stack. The structure has an octagonal plan with an extension to the right and is a single storey with a basement, designed in the Tudor-Gothic style.
On the left side, there is a Tudor-arched doorway with a studded door beneath a flat hood supported by brackets. Most sides of the building have window openings with 2-centre arches, some featuring frames with simple tracery lights. The building includes a plinth, a band, and a crenellated parapet. The right extension has a window opening and, on the right end, a small 2-centre arched window, a part-projecting end stack, and a small basement lean-to. At the rear, there are doorways leading to the basements.
A new turnpike road was opened in 1808, and the 1838 Broseley tithe map indicates an octagonal building at the site of the toll house, which was owned by Lord Forester and occupied by the Commissioners of Road, later relet to Edward Price.
