Tollgate and Tollhouse on the Lower Sandgate Road. At the time of the photo this was a private toll road running from the harbour to Sandgate and belonged to the Radnor Estate.

There is a painting of The Toll House, Lower Sandgate Road, Folkestone by James Wilkinson at Folkestone Library - History Resource Centre. You can also see it on the BBC Your Paintings website.

Lord Radnor owned the land, built a road between Folkestone and Sandgate and charged tolls for its use. By 1820 there was a wooden Toll House that was later replaced by the stone building in this picture.

I am very curious to know about the building in the cliff face on the far left of this photograph, and also the structure to the immediate right of it.



Can anyone identify please?
