THE STORY OF THE STANLEY TOLLHOUSE
The Stanley Tollhouse originally stood alongside the Telford Road at the Holyhead end of the embankment. In the late 1960's Anglesey County Council needed to lay a water-main along the embankment because of the development of the Anglesey Aluminium smelter further up the road, and found the tollhouse was in the way. To preserve the historical building, and with the consent of the owner, Miss N. Borthwick, the council undertook to take the Tollhouse down stone by stone, and re-erect it 100 yards down the road, to its present position, in the Penrhos Coastal Park.Each side of the building was painted in 2 different colours and every stone was numbered in sequence.
There are several photographs on our display board which shows the care and skill involved to move the tollhouse to its present, most attractive setting.
