The Dollis Valley Greenwalk near Tillingham Way
The Dollis Valley Greenwalk is about ten miles long and runs from Hampstead Heath to join the Dollis Brook near the North Circular Road and then follows the brook to beyond its source at Moat Mount. The Dollis Brook rises at Moat Mount near Arkley, firstly flowing eastwards through the open countryside of Totteridge Fields to Chipping Barnet and then through the suburbs of Barnet to Hendon. Its route can be traced by the thin strip of woodland along the riverbank and ribbon of open land on either side which provides a valuable green corridor. At Hendon the Dollis Brook meets the Mutton Brook and becomes the River Brent which then flows into the Welsh Harp Reservoir and subsequently the River Thames at Brentford. Here the Dollis Brook is to the left and Tillingham Way is a little way ahead. This is not far from Woodside Park Underground station.

Footbridge at Woodside Park Station
Where I met a mother trying to get her pram up and down all this. We managed it without waking up the child. Result.

View from the footbridge at Woodside Park station
The early railways tended to avoid the high ground in the centre of the present Borough of Barnet. Finchley thus remained a largely agricultural community, providing hay for London's army of horses. To improve communications, the Edgware, Highgate & London Railway Company opened a line in 1867 from Finsbury Park through East Finchley, and Finchley Central, and to the east of Mill Hill. On 1st April 1872 the company opened a four mile double track northwards through stations, including Torrington Park (later Woodside Park), up the eastern side of the Dollis Brook to High Barnet. The line failed to climb the steep slope up to Chipping (High) Barnet and terminated at the foot of Barnet Hill. A new villa colony near Torrington Park, Woodside caused the station to be renamed ‘Woodside Park for North Finchley’ on 1st May 1882. From 1931 the Woodside Park Garden Suburb was laid out west of the Dollis Brook and its name was added to the boards at Woodside Park station. The new London Passenger Transport Board came into existence in 1933, and in 1935 a major railway development plan was drawn up. Under the plan, the Tube was to be extended from its then terminus at Archway to the surface at East Finchley. The lines north of East Finchley running out to High Barnet and Edgware would then be connected to the Underground at Archway, replacing the old steam routes. The Northern line was so named in 1937. Tube trains reached East Finchley in 1939 and High Barnet in 1940. Northern line Tube trains to High Barnet started on 14th April 1940 and at this time the name ‘Woodside Park and North Finchley for the Woodside Garden Suburb’ was replaced by Woodside Park. The Underground extension to Edgware from Finchley Central never got further than Mill Hill East and the rest of the project was cancelled after the War when Green Belt legislation came in. Referring to the stations on the High Barnet branch Alan A Jackson in London’s Local Railways says: “The perceptive travellers can still discern the origins of the line; for the seeing eye ... the atmosphere of a country branch has not entirely gone.” This view is from the footbridge at Woodside Park station and looks down the line towards Totteridge & Whetstone. The footbridge can be seen at http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4947260 At the end of the down platform is the unusual feature (for the Underground) of the signal box. The footbridge and signal box no doubt date from steam days. For a close up of the latter see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4947251
