The Griffin
Popular Whetstone pub that dates back to 1697, it was catering for waggoners by the early 1800's, (Information from British History Online). Once a Fullers house, it has been an Irish theme pub and is now a Firkin house.

The Griffin Inn Whetstone
The Griffin prospers as a gastro pub on Whetstone High Road, once the Great North Road. It was a Coaching Inn originally from the seventeenth century I understand. Diagonally opposite it to the camera's right and out of picture is the soon to be demolished 1960's concrete office block that has become an eyesore. I have also uploaded a photo of that building. That the old building survives and the new one goes under perhaps is the exception to the economic rule of creative destruction as expounded by Joseph Schumpeter to explain the workings of capitalism.
In front of the blue car in the photo the horse trough is not original and the 'whetstone' was no such thing. Perhaps it's creative heritage capitalism?

The whetstone outside the Griffin Public House, Whetstone
It is thought that this stone may have been used to sharpen knives etc in the past or was used as a mounting block outside the Griffin which was a coaching inn

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.
