May not be the original toll house, but looks the part. At the junction of London Road and Kenilworth Avenue. The Avenue was the driveway to Wotton Court (1883 maps, though Court was gone in 1903, road then adopted). The bay window and bricked-up door are obviously 20c. The apse is reminiscent of toll house architecture, clearly present in 1883, though may have been an architect's fancy to reference the site as that of a toll house. Brick built toll houses were not unknown (see Image & Image). The stone step to the adjacent dwelling is well worn, suggesting long use.
