In truth the station no longer exists and the line that served it has been converted into The Parkland Walk, but this is the view of the surrounding streets that passengers would have enjoyed from the Finsbury Park bound platform. On the left is Ferme Park Road. in the foreground is Stapleton Hall Road which continues on behind the bus, curving round to the right. The other road behind the bus, curving to the left, is Granville Road. The building which is just visible on the extreme left of the photo is the Stationmaster's house for Stroud Green Station and was already in use as a shop by 1930! The W3 bus is on its way to Finsbury Park from Northumberland Park. Operated by Arriva, it is a Wright Gemini bodied Volvo B7TL.
