Former bus turning circle, Warren Hill
This turning circle, built into the junction of Finsbury Road with Bewcastle Road (foreground), did not have a particularly long life as a bus terminus: for most of its history, this area of housing has been served by buses either by way of a one way loop, or on their way from one place to another. Nowadays its primary use is for car parking.

Lych gate, Emmanuel Church
On another website a 'Local parishioner' writes:
"The lychgate has recently (2009) been relocated to the other side of the church yard. This was done in order that it might be saved from destruction through repeated acts of vandalism. The stone walls remain in position but the steps have recently been covered over by a ramp. The relocated wooden structure has been resited on new stone work. The original location had been the main entrance into the church yard but had fallen into disuse due to modern housing developments surrounding the church. The new location means that the lychgate functions once again as it was intended.
I believe that English heritage have lost interest in it being a listed structure now that it has been moved."
The gates mentioned in the English Heritage listing are missing.
