A recent addition to the Tarling Road estate, built following the demolition of care accommodation on the site.

One of the few surviving areas of allotments in Finchley. In the distance can be seen the Flats on Font Hills. These were built on another Allotment site.

A short stub off the main road through the estate contains some terraced houses.

A Scania R310 belonging to Utopia joins the westbound North Circular Road from the A1000 in Finchley. Utopia is a bathroom furniture supplier.

The A406 in 2006, now a six lane road. Most of the Poplar trees have gone, though new trees of other species are being planted. The bus stops halfway up the hill are next to Long Lane which the A406 now bridges. The crest of the hill is the bridge over the Northern Line. The tower at the centre is in Finchley Fire Station for training firemen.

The North Circular Road in Finchley at midday on January 1st 2014 with an overcast sky and heavy rain.

Three Valleys Water are renewing the water mains throughout East Finchley. During the course of this work some roads are closed temporarily as is the case here on Tarling Road. On the right is the new blue plastic water pipe. Much of the work is being carried out using trenchless methods, but here a trench has been cut across the road. A lone workman takes a lunch break on the track of the excavator. The mothers and buggies are en-route to the Newstead Children and Family centre - the low brick building on the right. The houses beyond are on Sylvester Road.

Block of flats with balconies on alternating sides. The entrance is located on the side facing away from the road. There is a parking area for the residents out of shot on the right.

Alms Houses for the elderly. Additional houses have been added over the years.

Seen from the footbridge carrying the footpath from Tarling Road. A 232 bus makes its way westward towards Brent Cross and St. Raphael's where it will turn around. The service is a 20 minute one and has recently converted to these MCV bodied MAN single deckers. Previously the service was provided by Dennis Dart's with plaxton bodies like the one in Image Behind is the BP service station which also houses a Marks and Spencer shop. In the foreground, the Blackberries seem to be flowering well - should be a bumper crop.
