Metropolitan Turnpike Trust
The Metropolitan Turnpike Trust (officially the Commissioners of the Turnpike Roads in the Neighbourhood of the Metropolis North of the River Thames) was the body responsible for maintaining the main roads in the north of the conurbation of London from 1827 to 1872. The commissioners took over from fourteen existing turnpike trusts, and were empowered to levy tolls to meet the costs of road maintenance.
==Creation==
The Metropolitan Trust was created by private act of Parliament (4 Geo IV c.142) following pressure from business interests in north London, who found that the numerous toll-gates throughout the area were interfering with the passage of goods and conduct of trade.〔 The fourteen trusts consolidated were:〔
*Kensington
*Brentford
*Isleworth
*Uxbridge
*Marylebone
*Harrow
*Kilburn
*Highgate and Hampstead
*City Road
*Stamford Hill
*Old Street
*Hackney
*Lea Bridge
*Camden Town
The total length of roads was 129¼ miles, and Sir James McAdam was appointed "General Surveyor of the Metropolis Roads North of the Thames".〔
