Metropolitan Railway Country Estates (MRCE) was a limited company created in 1919 to manage and develop the land owned by the Metropolitan Railway, notably in what was known as Metro-land north-west of London.[1] These lands helped establish an area for commuters to live and commute from in and out of London.
Some of the land had been previously handled by the Surplus Lands Committee, established in the first years of the 20th century.[citation needed]
History
Railways in the 1900s had to sell off surplus land. But the Metropolitan Railway was able to retain the land. To make use of the land, the MRCE was created to help manage the land they intended for future commuters.[2]
