Toll Gate Hotel, Holyhead Road
| These premises have been known by different names during their history: | FROM | TO | NAME |
| TOLL GATE INN | |||
This pub is near the site where the toll house stood on the Birmingham Road. The toll house and gate was the place where it was necessary to pay a fee to use that stretch of road, the income thus generated being used on the upkeep of the road.
This is a good example of an inter-war pub, 'Moderne' in style, with the emphasis on the horizontal, with rendered walls, rounded corners, a flat roof and broad, metal-framed windows. It opened in 1938.
