From toll house to traditionally styled restaurant

Steeped in history, the building that is today Ye Olde Toll House Restaurant was constructed in the early eighteen hundreds to collect tolls from those wishing to use the road that linked Wolverhampton with Walsall:

"The beginning of the nineteenth century, when the roads in England were cart tracks, coaches from Birmingham had to go all round the town on the way to Wolverhampton. One enterprising man had a road made direct from Walsall to Wolverhampton. To pay for this they built toll houses; this toll house to collect the tolls from Walsall [now Ye Olde Toll House Restaurant]; the other at the bottom of New Road to collect the tolls from Wolverhampton."
