Statement of Interest

This post was part of the old toll gatehouse known as

Parkhouse toll which operated the Turnpike Roads Glasgow to

Greenock via Govan and to Paisley, from 1780 to 1883 when

tolls were abolished. Removed from its original position at

the junction of Govan Road and Paisley Road, February 1988.
