The (onetime) Ever Ready office block Whetstone
Image: © John Kingdon Taken: 18 Jan 2022
This decaying early 1960's concrete office block was once the proud Ever Ready Batteries' office building. Lately it was a Barnet Council office but now it is empty and ready for demolition. It looks old and tired and an eyesore. My father took a photo of it in 1966 and it was then clean and bright and doubtless seen as cutting edge for the time. Today it seems like an embarrassing reminder of a failed dream. I doubt it will be missed.
