The rough ground on the right is the site of a former toll house that was erected when Isaac's Lane was turnpiked in 1807. The gate is marked on both Clayton's 1838 tithe map and the 1876 OS map a year or so before the road was disturnpiked and the toll house probably removed as it wasn't there on the 1897 edition.
