Crewe Toll

[1][2] "Toll" is shown on Gellatly's "New Map of the country 12 miles round Edinburgh" published in 1834.

[4] All buildings on the junction disappeared when it was enlarged at some point in the 1920s to take the additional traffic from the newly-constructed Telford Road.

Edinburgh's Telford College (tertiary) was at Crewe Toll, but has moved to a site at Granton.

A major aerospace facility is situated in the area, the Leonardo S.p.A. facility that dates to a 1943 Ferranti factory originally set up to produce gyro gunsights for the Supermarine Spitfire that later became a major radar development site.

Some nearby Edinburgh districts include Craigleith, Pilton, Inverleith, and Silverknowes.
