3rd bridge over the Northern Line after leaving East Finchley Station in a northbound train. Although the bridge was built wide enough to carry road traffic, Stanley Road on the east side of the line has never been more than a footpath, while on the west side it has become a suburban cul-de-sac. The brickwork of the bridge has decayed quite badly and has been replaced with blue engineering brick in a number of places. This shot was taken from the playground of Holy Trinity school and a small piece of the netting to stop balls getting onto the line has crept into the photo.
