Lucas Gardens
Part of a housing estate built on the site of the old Simms Factory. This road takes its name for Lucas who took over Simms. The area on which these apartments stand was the car park. Previously, it had been allotments. The road connects to Long Lane at the far end. It is divided in the middle to prevent through traffic and the section behind me is called Simms Gardens at the other end.

Hoodie in Da Alley
A young person walks along Ploughmans Walk towards Long Lane. This alley meets Long Lane at the same point as the remnants of Green Lane, (see other photos for this square), and is probably part of the same old route. Ploughmans Walk only got a name relatively recently - it never had one when I was a child!

Ploughman's Walk, East Finchley
This has all been built since the trunking of the North Circular through Finchley, prior to that this was fields and open land. The other side of the cottages to the south had a field with horses supplying the stables at Strawberry Vale among others. That is now Briar Close while the stables were replaced with a high density council estate.

Green Lane
The east end of this disused lane at the junction with Long Lane. A small van hire company has set up its office here. The lane continued between the trees in the centre of the picture to a bridge over the Northern Line and then on to a junction with East End Road, where Briarfield Avenue is now. Please see other views of Green Lane on this site.

The Lane in Winter
Looking north along Long Lane and across the junction with the A406 North Circular Road. The layout before the A406 became a six-lane dual carriageway is apparent from this winter view. The road on the left is Manor Cottages Approach and the corner house was a grocers shop in the 1960's.

Corvus Curiosa
A Carrion Crow (Corvus corone) eyes me warily from a tree beside Simms Gardens - He's wondering what the thing I'm pointing at him is but obviously doesn't think it's a shot-gun otherwise he'd be off! The tree itself has quite a healthy growth of lichens, suggesting that the air quality isn't too bad.

Blue Tit
Parus caeruleus - seen taking advantage of some free food. The Sunflower seed hearts like the one it has in its beak were most popular.
