Today Hadley Green is a quiet and peaceful spot but in 1471 it was the site of one of the major battles of the Wars of the Roses - the Battle of Barnet. This was fought in such thick fog that one side ended up killing some of its own men. For a very full account of the battle with maps see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Barnet This is Brewery Pond between Dury Road and Sydney Chapman Way.
