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!

North Circular A406
The North Circular before it became a 6 lane dual carriageway. Lots of trees and a bit of a tailback. The bus is Eastern National 1922, a Leyland National. The National Bus company leaf green livery blends in well with the trees!

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.

Long Lane Bus Shelter
Extreme wide angle has distorted the shape of the shelter. On a day where the mist lingered until late afternoon, traffic is queuing all the way from Henly's Corner to here because of a single lane closure.

Waiting for the Bus
Bus stop on the North Circular road before it became a dual carriageway. It's a chilly and foggy November morning - the sort when the bus never comes. There was only one lane in each direction at this time and a queue has formed at the traffic lights where Long Lane crosses the A406.

A406 - North Circular Road
Viewed from the bus stop for Long Lane. Westbound traffic climbs from passing under the A1000 to cross over Long Lane and the Northern Line. The bridge behind the truck carries the footpath from Tarling Road.

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.

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.

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.
