Lidbury Square, Mill Hill
Lidbury Square is part of a recent upmarket development just west of Mill Hill East station. This is a view east along the road. The shadow in the foreground is that of one of the pillars that marks the entrance to this "select" development.

Housing on Devonshire Road
Devonshire road was part of the expansion of the area in the 1930's. I am unsure whether these semi-detached houses with their circular porch design belong to that period or are post war.

Bridge over what was to be an extension of the Northern line
The line between what is now Finsbury Park and Edgware was opened by the Great Northern Railway on the 22nd August 1867. In the London Passenger Transport Board's 'New Works Plan' of 1935 it was proposed that the line be taken over by the Northern line and be diverted into the new Underground station at Edgware which had opened in 1924. The service on the line from East Finchley to Edgware was suspended from 11th September 1939 to allow the work to be completed and the New Works Plan was expected to be completed by spring 1941. In the event the Northern line branch never got past Mill Hill East and so 11th September 1939 was the last day the line was used by passenger trains. Northern line trains first served Mill Hill East on 18th May 1941. The line was closed completely beyond Mill Hill East on 1st June 1964. This view is across the first bridge over the former line beyond the buffers at Mill Hill East seen at http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5099651 Much of the former trackbed is now a linear parkland walk.

Bridge over disused railway line, Mill Hill
The bridge crosses the former railway line from Mill Hill East to Edgware, which would have become part of the London Underground Northern Line under the 1930s New Works programme (specifically the Northern Heights scheme) were it not for the intervention of war.

Devonshire Road from Sanders Lane
The junction in the foreground is with Ashley Walk and, on the left, Tavistock Avenue. This is the point where Sanders Lane in the past used to diverge left and cross over the railway to connect with Bittacy Hill. On the horizon, on the opposite side of the Dollis Valley, the houses of Finchley and Central House can be seen.
