The Toll Boys were all local unemployed men who spent their days repairing furniture at the Toll House to help others in the local community. In 2018 the original bronze plaque bearing the names of the 29 Toll Boys who gave their lives in the First World War was moved from the wall of the building at 5 Glasgow Road – where the old Toll House stood – to allow for the regeneration of the local area. It was relocated to a nearby garden area and fixed to the plinth of a brand new Celtic cross.
