A 382 bus passes Wingate and Finchley FC on route to Mill Hill East on a glorious spring day. The houses opposite are a mix of different semi-detached styles. On Saturday afternoons and Tuesday evenings, motorists often hear the sound of leather on paintwork as a poorly directed shot clears the football ground fence and bounces across the road. The bus is PDL90, a Dennis Dart with Plaxton body, belonging to Arriva.

View west, towards the High Road. Nevertheless, we went out to celebrate.

A London Ambulance Service Mercedes-Benz Sprinter makes its way gingerly between parked cars and a paramedic vehicle into the Abrahams Stadium. It was attending for a Cray Wanderers player who was suffering from concussion and was the second ambulance to attend the same emergency. The first, out of shot beside the changing rooms, was diagnosed as having a slow puncture to the rear tyre and was therefore unfit to carry the patient to hospital. The second ambulance initially turned into the adjacent Finchley Rugby Club and the paramedic, seen walking in front, was dispatched to collect it and bring it round to the Wingate & Finchley side.

Originally a House belonging to a plasterer, the building became Woodhouse Grammar school in 1925. Its current role is as a 6th Form College. Although the gates bear the word college, its past role as a school is still visible on the gate post on the right. On the extreme right of the photo are two Finchley Parish boundary markers. The taller one dates to 1864 and carries the words Finchley Parish. The shorter one simply carries the letters FBP and 1910.
