Montpelier Road, LONDON, N3 2ER

Terraced and semi-detached housing in this view looking towards Long Lane.

Snow turned to slush at this busy intersection. Pedestrians skirt around the water by the crossing and icicles hang from the traffic lights. Don't let the water confuse you...it's still -1 degrees Celsius!

Aftermath of a collision at the junction of Long Lane and Squires Lane involving a Mercedes-Benz SLK and a Vauxhall Astra sees two paramedic vehicles attending. The paramedics were treating the injured inside Squires Estate Agents on the corner (out of shot) initially while awaiting ambulances to attend. The 143 and 382 bus routes were disrupted – 143’s were diverted along East End Road instead of using Squires Lane as normal though two buses (one of which can be seen) were trapped in the vicinity of the accident.

The shopkeeper of Unique Food and Wine has just completed clearing the pavement outside his shop. No doubt it will soon be covered again as the snow is still falling.

Local supplier to the trade and diy, specialising in plumbing and bathrooms, on the corner of Long Lane and Squires Lane, which is on the right.

Semi-detached housing on Cromwell Road, looking towards Avondale Road.

Seen at the junction with Squires Lane. The corner shop, now Long Lane Cafe, was once a newsagents / sweet shop. In more recent times it was a dry cleaner's before becoming a cafe circa 2014. Squires on the opposite corner used to be a bookmakers (William Hill, I think). The Plane Tree on the left has had a recent 'hair cut' as have the others on Long Lane.

Looking across the dip by Cromwell and Montpelier Road's from the junction with Abingdon Road. The dip forms the lowest point along the lane and is sometimes liable to flooding. Beyond the Lane climbs up to the junction with Squires Lane before a kink to the left and continuing its climb to Church End and Ballards Lane. Not too sure what the driver of the Mercedes was doing but it doesn't seem to have involved hitting anything. Long Lane was gritted but the snow has stuck to the road regardless as the temperatures fell below Zero and stayed there.
