Seen at the junction with Kitchener Road and Prospect Ring. The sorting office on the left dates to 1901 whilst the modern housing of Ash Tree Court conveniently is 100 hundred years younger, dating to 2001. Ash Tree Court sits on the site of The George public house and stands at what was southern entrance to the original centre of East Finchley - rather than the current High Road. There used to be a large hog market on this site, opened around 1680 by Thomas Odell, from which West End butchers bought their pigs. It was one of the largest specialist markets in the UK.
