IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
East End Road, LONDON, N2 0LY

VP491 overtakes a cyclist along East End Road as it passes the stops for Trinity Avenue. The 143 route is normally single deck operation but a double decker has been sent out to handle the extra load generated by children from the Bishop Douglass and Christ College schools - you can see several of them sitting against the upstairs front window. There is a 643 double deck route that normally operates at this time specifically for the school run and I wonder if the driver has accidentally set the wrong number in the display?

These two open areas of common land have survived the suburbanisation of the area to provide space for people to walk their dogs or just enjoy walking on the grass. Sheep were grazed here as recently as the 1930's.

A 263 bus stands in a traffic jam on East End Road. It has been diverted from its usual route along the High Road due to a serious accident. The High Road was closed between Church Lane and Oak Lane with traffic being diverted onto neighbouring roads. Long Lane was gridlocked as a result and traffic was moving very slowly on Church Lane.

Sitting back from East End Road, next to Nazareth House. I believe this was originally Knighton Villa. The Poor Sisters of Nazareth purchased the villa and moved here from Chiswick in 1921 to found their convent and care home. Please see Image for further details. It is currently a home for blind and disabled Jewish people.

DLF97 drifts through an area of manicured greenery between Church Lane and Trinity Avenue. In the foreground, a female Blackbird gathers food for her young, undeterred by my presence. She has a nest in the hedge below the Horse Chestnut tree on the left. The floral display on the left is outside Fairacres care home. The white building with scaffolding, visible through the shrubs and trees on the right, is the vicarage of Holy Trinity Church.

Semi-detached housing.

Bathed in early morning spring sunshine, the church is framed by Ivy covered gravestones. This is the south aisle, added in 1883.

The font, originally located at the rear of the church, was donated in remembrance of Mrs. Golden. The interior of the church was extensively rebuilt in the 1980's and the font stands where the memorial chapel to the dead of WWI was located. The memorial chapel altar was removed at that time and all that now remains is the wooden plaque on the wall.
