Disused Public Convenience
Opposite the council offices in Barnet House is this neglected piece of civic architecture. It must once have been a symbol of civic pride, finished in a half-timbered style. The trees might come in handy if you need to spend a penny!
Subsequent to this photo being taken, in September 2009 it was noted that these toilets and the adjacent building have been demolished and the site cleared.

The (onetime) Ever Ready office block Whetstone
This decaying early 1960's concrete office block was once the proud Ever Ready Batteries' office building. Lately it was a Barnet Council office but now it is empty and ready for demolition. It looks old and tired and an eyesore. My father took a photo of it in 1966 and it was then clean and bright and doubtless seen as cutting edge for the time. Today it seems like an embarrassing reminder of a failed dream. I doubt it will be missed.

The pub in this picture is the Griffin, which dates from 1928 although there has been an inn on this site in the centre of Whetstone for much longer.
