Carew Road, Northwood
Carew Road leads off Eastbury Road, running through to Watford Road. The name comes from F Murray Maxwell Hallowell Carew who bought land in Northwood following the arrival of the Metropolitan Railway in 1887 and then sold off building plots, naming some of the roads after himself. The style of street name sign on a single tall post is relatively unusual in the UK although it has been favoured by some local authorities over the years. The school sign refers to St Helen's School, out of shot to the right, an independent girls' school for pupils aged 3-18.

Mermaids at the Ocean Gate
Making postbox toppers is a craze that can be found in different parts of the country but it has seriously caught on in the outer north-west London suburbs, including here on Eastbury Road, Northwood. The crochet designs are often anonymous but this one has a tag giving the work a title and naming the artist as Karinlighthouse 2021. A lot of effort has clearly gone into it and the effect is both colourful and really rather charming. Presumably Royal Mail has no objection - after all, the toppers are doing no harm and not impeding postal operations.
