Flats on this small estate viewed from the junction with Stanley Road.

View of the semi detached housing on Stanley Road from the corner of Homefield Gardens. The flowers make a nice splash of colour.

3rd bridge over the Northern Line after leaving East Finchley Station in a northbound train. Although the bridge was built wide enough to carry road traffic, Stanley Road on the east side of the line has never been more than a footpath, while on the west side it has become a suburban cul-de-sac. The brickwork of the bridge has decayed quite badly and has been replaced with blue engineering brick in a number of places. This shot was taken from the playground of Holy Trinity school and a small piece of the netting to stop balls getting onto the line has crept into the photo.

That's the title of the email notifications sent out every Thursday by Transport for London to advise of planned engineering works. October 5th/6th and 12th/13th would see the High Barnet Branch of the Northern Line closed two weekends in a row for track replacement at Finchley Central and East Finchley. An extensive network of rail replacement buses was provided. Battery locomotive L52 stands on the southbound tracks as old ballast is replaced by new on the northbound line. The closest excavator is unloading fresh ballast from the wagons which is distributed along the track bed by the dumpster in the foreground. The second excavator is loading the discarded old ballast into wagons that have already been unloaded. The bridge in the distance carries Prospect Place over the line.

A heavy overnight frost and mist make for hazardous conditions for drivers and pedestrians alike. The Horse Chestnuts have long since lost their leaves in this winter view.

Battery locomotives L17 and L19 stand with a ballast train between Church Lane (the bridge in the distance) and Stanley Road awaiting their turn to provide fresh ballast to the works being carried out south of Stanley Road.
