House on the edge of Coppett's Wood
Coppett's Wood was once part of Finchley Common, a large tract of countryside belonging to the Bishop of London. The origin of Coppett's Wood is unclear. It first appeared as woodland on Ordnance Survey maps from surveys of 1862 - 1871, although individual features may date from an earlier time. It is thought to have been used for timber production - the old boundary ditches along the southern and western edges, which survive to this day, may once have served to deter cattle from straying into the wood.
The site was designated as a Local nature Reserve in 1997 and there is free public access.
This house is just beyond the western edge of the woods.

Catering equipment wholesaler on Summers Lane, Friern Barnet. I wouldn't like my foot to slip off the clutch when parking the van - the pavement is a long way down.

Woodleigh Avenue
Seen from Woodhouse Road. Nice example of late 1920's housing. The road, along with Hollickwood Avenue at the far end, follows the route of a field boundary. There appears to have once been a stream at the bottom of the dip which fed into a fish pond, roughly located at the current junction of Thurlstone Avenue and Lyndhurst Avenue.

Ingleway
Part of the housing estate between Summers Lane and Woodhouse Road. The roundabout is a bit of a mystery - there is no junction, just a rightangle bend!
