East End Road
Cars passing the junction with Hampstead Heights. The flats are part of the Park Farm Close estate. The name recalls Park Farm which was on this site. It was the winter quarters for "Lord" George Sanger's circus. Sanger was murdered here in 1911.

Closed John's shoe repairers on Manor Park Road, East Finchley
This shop was here for most of my life till I left the area in 1994, and has just had to close since the current owner, who took over from Mr Belcher 30 years ago had to give up due to ill health. My family had all their shoes repaired here since about 1965. No one knows its fate now. Here is the story from the local paper.

Cricket Row
Built on the site of the one-time Summers Brown and Sons cricket bat factory. The factory was a conversion of a 19th century house called Glencroft. The bats manufactured here were used by England cricketer Jack Hobbs - hence the name of the side road, Hobbs Green. Joack Hobbs put the Australians to the sword with a Summers Brown Force bat in the 1924/25 Ashes series. Although England lost the series, Hobbs came away with an average of 60 runs per innings. I have been unable to ascertain when the factory closed, but the houses date to the early 1990's

Manor Park Stores
Long since closed, though still in residential use, this shop was clearly not called Manor Park Stores originally - it would probably have had the owners name above the door. A victim of the supermarkets and the number of other small shops in the local area, the frontage is a memory of a bygone era with its pre-plate glass windows with glazed adverts for tea.
