At Hugh has posted this image, captioned "Turnpike Lane Toll Booth, late 19th Century (disused and soon to be demolished)" and "Our area has a long history of road pricing. In 1739 the Stamford Hill Green Lanes Turnpike Trust started taking tolls on Green Lanes at its intersection with Tottenham Lane (subsequently renamed Turnpike Lane). In 1789, the Manor House Turnpike was established. Both gates lasted until the turnpike system was swept away in 1872."
