IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Rosemary Avenue, LONDON, N3 2QP

Glorious autumn colours on a Maple and a Cherry tree, accentuated in the dull light of a wet day, put the Limes beyond to shame. A postman can be seen on the right hand pavement delivering the mail.

Standard wheelie bin as supplied to households in Finchley. A nice warm spot in the early morning sun. Brings a new meaning to the term 'Kitty Litter'.

Originally these houses had addresses on the North Circular Road. When it was rebuilt into a six lane Dual carriageway a wall was built separating the two and the road in front of the houses was given the new name.

Fruit on a Rosa rugosa used by the council in their low maintenance gardens.

Before it became a six lane dual carriageway, the A406 had wide grass verges and pavements on both sides of the road. Parking for the houses in the photo was in garages behind and access to the A406 was via pavement crossings - one is visible just behind the bus. Rosemary Avenue connected with the A406 here, you can see the junction just behind the green car on the right. This photo would now be impossible as I would be standing in the middle of the carriageway. The grass opposite is now Tangle Tree Close, which connects with Rosemary Avenue. There is a wall between the close and the A406 shielding the houses from some of the noise. The bus is RF419, an AEC Regal, running on the eastbound 212 from Dollis Hill to Palmers Green. The route was a result of splitting the unreliable 112 route. Subsequently, it was diverted to Brent Cross at the western end and became the 232.

London & North Eastern Railway Signs, on either side of Squires Lane by the bridge over the Northern Line, warn of the consequences of trespassing on the railway. A relic from the days before electrification.

This unfriendly looking character was amongst the more usual 'tag' type graffiti on the A406 footbridge over the Northern Line. The bright sunlight shows off the mix of cement and stones forming the concrete parapet well.

It appears to be a santolina

This sign, after cutting back of the shrubs, is currently visible. Once they grow back in the spring it will again become invisible and therefore useless to motorists on the North Circular Road. Traffic on the North Circular is visible beyond, crossing over the Northern Line.

Cars approach the summit of the climb from Henly's Corner at the bridge over the Northern Line, on which I am standing. The tunnel they have just passed through carries East End Road over the A406. It used to be the Manor Cottage roundabout - named after the pub that stood on the corner- and was the summit of the climb in the past. The houses on the left are on Briar Close. The Traffic jam on the westbound carriageway is the result of a single lane closure at Henly's Corner. The two poles visible in the photo are eruv markers. An eruv is a contiguous boundary denoted by string or natural markers (such as in this case, the Northern Line) that enables Orthodox Jews to carry items or push baby strollers within its borders during the Sabbath. The string between the poles is too thin to show in the photo.
