The building now occupied by HSBC Bank was originally the Kingstown toll cottage. A plaque on the side wall dates it circa 1820, for Glasgow and Edinburgh toll roads 1815 to 1883. There is a view from the other side of the building here Image . Historic England's photo archive has several views of the cottage taken in 1971, eg https://www.historicengland.org.uk/images-books/photos/englands-places/card/45169?place=Kingstown%2c+Cumbria+(Place)&terms=kingstown&searchtype=englandsplaces&i=-1&wm=1&bc=0%7c13%7c18%7c19&g=1530 . The building appears to have been extended since then, and the surroundings have changed considerably.
