The gate post which is seen leaning to the left is supposed to have originally carried the tollgate. However, Greasby Road was not built until the 1860s, the turnpike was Saughall Massie Lane, which in those days was on the other side of the building.
The house was demolished when the junction was re-aligned, but the gate post, which actually carried the gate to the farm track leading to Hall Hill Meadow (now the cricket club), remained until it was pulled out in 2003.
