Some youths had deliberately set alight a wheelie bin outside the Mobil petrol station on the North Circular Road (A406) at the East Finchley High Road (A1000) junction in August 1990. Next door is the Grays MOT centre, formerly Glanfield Lawrence, built in the 1930s. This building has now disappeared and the location itself has changed completely since the North Circular Road was widened and rebuilt as a flyover over this section in 1994.
