Old toll bar on Manchester Road. - This old toll bar was built around the 1830's and is a Grade II listed. The Special Constables mustered here to meet the rioters during the Plug Loom Riots of 1842. So much history for this old, forgotten, building. After it stopped "having a purpose", it was occupied for several years as a private residence by a Mr William Hindle. His father James and a brother John were foremen printers at Broad Oak Printworks.

Before this, the old Toll Bar lower down the road had been used (as previously mentioned). In those days it was known as Grange Bar.
