Redundant Sign
On Oak Lane, a sign remains warning motorists of a school. Now very faded, the sign referred to Oak Lodge School which used to be located on the corner of Oak Lane and New Oak Road. The school, which caters for 11-19 year olds with learning difficulties, moved to new premises on Heath View many years ago and the Lodge was demolished along with the Simms factory in the late 1990's when the housing estate beyond was built.

Factory Gates
A pavement crossing marks the site of the Lucas CAV factory's New Oak Road entrance. Simms' factory opened on this site in 1926 utilising a victorian mansion and its grounds. A successful business, supplying motor parts, it expanded to fill the whole of the six acre site. In 1968 the company was taken over by Lucas CAV. With the UK motor business losing market share, the factory was gradually run down and finally closed in 1991. At one time it was Finchley's largest employer. I used to meet my father here at the end of his shift. It is now a housing estate

Long Lane
Looking south from the junction with New Oak Road during the rush hour on a cold and frosty morning. The potential for accidents at this junction is clear from the photo as a 4x4 edges out to get a better view. The effect of pollarding on the Plane trees is evident from this photo.
