The Grange Estate, East Finchley in summer 1997
Craven House seen from the balcony of 12, Vane House, where I grew up as a child and lived for 20 years, on a warm and sunny day on 27 July 1997. Craven House was one of the first block of flats to be built as part of the new housing estate in 1938. The car park in front was provided in 1993, before that it was a rough tarmac vacant bit of land which had a children's play area on it, and a washing line enclosure. This area was also a bomb site during the Second World War, when Finchley experienced the Blitz in November 1940.

Foskett House and Sycamore House
Further examples of housing on the Grange Estate. In recent years some of the housing blocks have been cleaned and modernised. The old tile roof has been removed from Foskett House and a new floor of residences added. Sycamore House, in the background, retains its original roof profile and has yet to be cleaned.
