Focus Point 3:
Toll Cottage
Not far away from Dr Stoop's Stone, on what is now Vyner Road North, stood a ‘toll bar cottage', mentioned in “Auld Lang Syne” 1935.
The willows are still there with remnants of the pond.
Did it look something like this?

“The keeper's cottage stood to one's right and contained, as far as I can remember, only one living room and a sort of cockloft above. It was lime washed, and stood flush against the roadway, while the long white five-barred gate stretched across the whole road from the doorway. At one end of the cottage was a little pond shaded by willows”.
