Located at SO 588104 ( Ordnance Survey ref to our overseas readers)


in the New Regard Volume 14 1999 ( para-phrased)

"... there were two Toll houses in Coalway Lane End.

a/ SO 588104 at the NE corner of Coalway Cross, in the area of the Britannia Inn, ( a photograph from 1888 was published in the New regard article)
Gates to Parkend road and Milkwall. Photograph shows a young Kate JENKINS ( later KEAR), and a Miss Gleed.

b/ SO 587104 in Coalway Rd opposite the School; this appears to have been demolished in 1973.
"

UPDATE

The 'photo mention on the Commanet archive ( http://www.themorganfamily.net/fod/coalwaygate.jpg ) bears an uncanny resemblance to the New Regard 'photo - the young girl is believed to be Miss Jenkins, and the older lady Miss Gleed.
