Wolmer Gardens, EDGWARE, HA8 8QF

The striped pole is in very good condition, and the sign looks like it was only replaced recently although would need to discover for certain whether the previous one was pre-Worboys.

Before the London boroughs were created in 1965 this was part of Middlesex, and whoever was responsible for the area then planted bush verges in many roads from here to the other side of Stanmore, which is now in a different borough, but these clearly were made as a local feature at the time and include the first palm trees I'd seen on a public road as opposed to someone's garden. There are also quite a few plots of bamboo further down the road which are all immaculately clipped.

Many of the roads have these in Edgware and Stanmore rather than the usual plain grass.

The road practically ends here, you can get further to the cemetery entrance and the fields beyond, but besides parking there to go for a walk it only becomes like a track and stopped half way along by a gate. It also becomes a private road just past here and the farm personnel appear typically suspicious despite it still being a public footpath.

The Broadfields estate has no through routes, but is just built on the area between the A41 and the M1 with only a gated farm track leading through to Elstree for the use of the farm owners only. There is only one direct route from Edgwarebury Lane to the centre in Broadfields Avenue at the north end, otherwise you have to use these to cut through and make no false moves or you end up back where you started.

This is the north entrance to the new (1992) wooded area off Edgwarebury Lane.
