A sign of the times
Girls entrance to school. Not a sign that would be placed at a school entrance nowadays. I don't think the gate access system is a contemporary feature!

View from a Peterborough-London train - High Barnet branch
At this point, the Great Northern branch line from Finsbury Park to High Barnet crossed the main line on a bridge, to the left of the footbridge. In 1939 the High Barnet branch was attached to the Northern Line instead, with the line to Finsbury Park finally closing to passengers in 1954, and completely in 1970.

The Parkland Walk, looking south
In the 1930s, the ex-Great Northern Railway line from Edgware to Finsbury Park was planned to become part of London Transport's Northern Line. Electrification would have seen through tube trains running from the GN & City line at Moorgate over a new connection at Finsbury Park, then via Stroud Green, Crouch End, and Highgate High Level to Finchley Central, Mill Hill East, then Mill Hill (The Hale) and Edgware. There would have been an extension from Edgware to Borehamwood and Bushey Heath. A considerable amount of work had been done when Hitler's war intervened and caused the works to be deferred; after the war the plan was first neglected and then abandoned. The trackway from Finsbury Park to Highgate is now used as a footpath and cycle way.

Oxford Road
Not to be confused with Oxford Street! This section is a cul-de-sac off Florence Road, leading to the railway line and a footbridge to Finsbury Park. There is another section of Oxford Road on the opposite side of Florence Road, but interestingly the two sections do not form a straight crossroads, suggesting that one was a later addition to the area. The houses are typical terraced designs for the area, having 3 storeys above street level.
