Sunshine Supermarket
Shop located in the centre of the Strawberry Vale estate. The shutters tell their own story - this can be a rough place, although I believe that it has improved in recent years since it has been managed by the Peabody Trust. Even so, windows on the stairways had been recently smashed. The housing in the middle is more recent than the flats that encircle the estate.

St. Pancras and Islington Cemetery
Looking along Lygoe Road. This is currently in use for Burials and a stone-mason was working somewhere amongst the graves. The buildings beyond the trees are on the Strawberry Vale housing estate.

Stand and Deliver
On the edge of the Glebelands the bole of a dead tree has been carved to depict a highwayman. It forms a memento of the time when highwaymen frequently robbed travellers on the Great North Road as they crossed Finchley Common. Finchley's association with highwaymen is further recalled by 'The Dick Turpin' pub on Long Lane.

Glebelands Pond
Man-made pond at the western end of the Glebelands Local Nature Reserve. A Weeping Willow dips its leaves in the waters edge. A resident family of Moorhen's have left trails through the duck weed that conceals the surface. There are waterlillies, which have finished flowering for this year and, unfortunately, plastic bottles. In the distance is a parade of shops on Glebe Road.

Footpath on the Glebeland
Two footpaths on the Glebeland. The main footpath leads from the A1000 to the Glebelands open space where Wingate & Finchley FC and Finchley RFC have their playing fields. The gateway on the left gives access to a footpath through the Glebelands local nature reserve. The Glebelands are commonly referred to locally as 'The rough Lots'.

Fog on the A406
A Stansted bound coach and a recovery truck head east. The pink glow in the sky show that the sun has started to burn through the fog. The sign on the left refers to the layout of the junction at the top of the sliproad on the left. Its positioning leaves something to be desired as it could be misread as referring to the North Circular Road itself.
