The name of the crossroads derives from the position of a former turnpike tollgate that existed here from the construction of what is now the modern A27 in 1819. The older route originally ran north-south and survives only as the lane to Milton Street. The old road north joined Thornwell Road south of Monkyn Pyn and has now been reduced in status to a restricted byway.
