IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Lincoln Road, LONDON, N2 9DJ

Traditional barbershop that has seen better days. I used to get my hair cut here when I was at school, a very long time ago! Not much has changed in 40 years. I bet the barbers still ask 'anything for the weekend sir?' Planning permission was granted in January 2007 for Lincoln Parade to be redeveloped as housing, so I wonder how much longer the shops will be here.

On Lincoln Road, adjacent to the High Road in East Finchley. This small group of shops in a generally rundown condition are finally undergoing redevelopment. The shop fronts have been removed revealing previous ownership in the case of the closest. This was a small estate agents in its latter days, but was once Finchley Pet Stores. The 4th shop along was once a barbers - see Image It's a wet day and the workers can be seen sheltering inside the 5th shop.

Freshly fallen snow coats the pavement beside the Fortis Green request stop. Despite the continuing fine falling snow the two lady pedestrians seem in good spirits as they make their way towards the station.

This was featured on Grand Designs before I went to take it.

A disabled parking bay is removed on Leicester Road N2. Housing along this road is a mix of semi-detached and terraced.

Closed shops, but a member of bar staff can be seen enjoying a cigarette in the doorway of Madden's public house at around 12:15.

The Bald Faced Stag pub sits at the right on the junction, and East Finchley tube station is in the distance. Looking south across the major road junction in the grid square.

AEC Regent bus on the 102 route turns onto Fortis Green Road. It must have been a warm evening, the front windows are wound right down. Entering service in 1938, the last buses of this type were retired from passenger service by London Transport in 1979. In the background is the Bald Faced Stag public house.

Looking towards the junction with the A1000, High Road, at East Finchley. The 134 bus on the right is a stranger to these parts, being on diversion due to a burst watermain on Muswell Hill. The bus in the queue of traffic in the centre is a 43, also on diversion. It was a very cold night and the roofs of the shops and the Bald Faced Stag pub, across the junction in the centre of the photo, are white with frost.
