Description

This toll house, likely built in the late 18th century, was originally part of the Birmingham, Dudley and Wolverhampton turnpike established in 1760. It is constructed of stuccoed brick and features a slate roof. The building has two storeys, with sash windows that include glazing bars. Both the north and south walls consist of one bay, while the south wall has a blind first-floor window with painted glazing bars. The west wall, which faces the street, has three bays, with the two outer bays angled back. In the middle bay on the first floor, there is a blind recess with a pointed head, likely intended for a toll board. The entrance door is located in the left-hand bay, and there is a chimney on the ridge.
