Three Valleys Water are renewing the water mains throughout East Finchley. During the course of this work some roads are closed temporarily as is the case here on Tarling Road. On the right is the new blue plastic water pipe. Much of the work is being carried out using trenchless methods, but here a trench has been cut across the road. A lone workman takes a lunch break on the track of the excavator. The mothers and buggies are en-route to the Newstead Children and Family centre - the low brick building on the right. The houses beyond are on Sylvester Road.
