Two examples of terrace housing styles in the N2 part of Long Lane.

Terraced housing on Chamberlain Road, a cul-de-sac off Long Lane. The gates at the end provide maintenance access to the Northern Line.

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.

With the days getting shorter as autumn begins, Barnet's highway maintenance team are out cleaning the streetlamps in Long Lane.

Looking across the Northern Line at the site of the bridge that carried the lane across the railway. On the opposite side, the lane continues down to join Long Lane between Manor Cottage Approach and Chamberlain Road. The bridge was built in the 1860's and demolished in the 1960's after the lane had fallen into disuse. The abutments of the bridge now carry number W987 for maintenance purposes.

Mary complained to George that the foxes had been at the bin bags again.

A nice collection of off road vehicles parked on the drive of a house on Long Lane while a Lawson's Cypress (Chamaecyparis lawsonia) is removed from a garden on Brighton Road. There were 2 of these trees and both were removed in little more than an hour. The tractor is a John Deere 6920S. The vehicle hiding behind the tractor is a Unimog.

Aftermath of an accident in Long Lane. A speeding Vauxhall Omega struck this Saxo, spinning it round and dumping it on the pavement. Part of the wall was demolished in the process. Fortunately no pedestrians were passing at the time. The Omega was abandoned further down the Lane opposite Abingdon Road. It was the second accident on this corner inside a month. The gentle nature of the corner can be seen at http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/193285

Remains of an old lane that ran between Long Lane and East End Road. The lane predates 1800 and probably fell into disuse with the advent of a metalled road adjacent - now the North Circular Road. The fence at the end marks the Northern Line boundary and prevents access to the railway where the lane used to cross on a bridge. The wall on the right is the back of the playing fields belonging to Bishop Douglas school.
