Tollgate Cottage, Merrow
This 19th century tile-hung cottage has been built on the site of the original toll house on Epsom Road. The tolls were abolished in 1867 and the cottage was demolished before being replaced. It's closing tariff was "4d a horse; 10d per score of bullocks; 5d per score of sheep" - not many of these beasts are seen today on Epsom Road!

Planning Blight
2008 - more closed shops in Merrow as planning rolls on, rebuilding these ca 2010 with 3 new shops and flats above them. The baker is closed, the Indian restaurant is still currying favour with customers (and will make a comeback), the travel agent has flown to Bramley, and the Lloyds TSB bank still opens for business.
