View From Stroud Green
Looking down on the Tottenham and Hampstead Railway from the Great Northern Railway's Finsbury Park to Alexandra Palace branch. The latter is now a footpath known as The Parkland Walk and was a victim of Dr. Beeching's cuts. The Tottenham and Hampstead Railway's line survived because of its importance as a freight link across London. This view is taken from the site of the platforms of Stroud Green station. The diesel multiple unit is a class 172. The type recently replaced class 150's on the Barking - Gospel Oak service.

The road in the bottom left hand corner of the photograph and passing beneath Parkland Walk is Stapleton Hall Road. The road passing over the railway is Lancaster Road, whilst the railway is the London Overground from Barking between Crouch Hill and Harringay Green Lanes stations.

View from Parkland Walk, looking northeast
Taken from the same place as
Image, this shows the Gospel Oak to Barking line far below, showing that it would have been possible to build an interchange here with the ex-GN line, where I am standing. Interestingly, this would have become a second place where the UNDERground passes OVER the OVERground! (the other example of this being at Whitechapel).

View From Stroud Green Station
In truth the station no longer exists and the line that served it has been converted into The Parkland Walk, but this is the view of the surrounding streets that passengers would have enjoyed from the Finsbury Park bound platform. On the left is Ferme Park Road. in the foreground is Stapleton Hall Road which continues on behind the bus, curving round to the right. The other road behind the bus, curving to the left, is Granville Road. The building which is just visible on the extreme left of the photo is the Stationmaster's house for Stroud Green Station and was already in use as a shop by 1930!
The W3 bus is on its way to Finsbury Park from Northumberland Park. Operated by Arriva, it is a Wright Gemini bodied Volvo B7TL.
