The only tollhouse built on the Longfurlong turnpike is located on the parish boundary between Findon and Clapham. It is believed the cottage on the left was the original building and may have originally been a lodge, the castellated portion on the right was added later and contains the window where the tolls were collected. The building later became tearooms and in 1970 were used to advertise Crown weatherproof paints with bottom part painted in a buff colour and the top part in white.
