Looking towards the Bald Faced Stag and the junction with East End Road. The road from Finchley Wood to St. Albans was placed under Pavage tax for the local citizens in 1347. This southern section of the road was called Newgate Lane in 1395 - possibly a reference to the Bishop's Gate which was located near here. The Bald Faced Stag existed before 1730 (it has also been known as 'The Jolly Blacksmith'). It was rebuilt in its current form around 1880.
