What was the site of the gravel pit was a car breakers yard in the 1970's until it closed in the early 1980's |

Do you mean the breakers yard that was next to the car park and RC church St Mary Magdalen's at the start of Athenaeum Road? That whole area had at an earlier time been a gravel pit. They replaced it with an office block which has a firm of accountants in it. |

Totteridge and Whetstone station was originally known, I think, as Totteridge. It was on the Great Northern Railway's branch line to High Barnet. That's a Great Northern 4-4-2 tank engine with a rake of suburban carriages at the northbound platform [The photograph is orientated towards the east]. The railway was subsequently incorporated into the London Underground system and now forms part of the Northern Line from Morden, it appears |

The long double galleried building beside the railway was a horse hospital, I believe for Pickfords, to rest their cart horses. They would arive by train and graze on whetstone strays in the foreground. The building still stands (just) in a dilapidated condition. The coal yards beside the railway are now the car park for Totteridge & Whetstone Station. In the distance are the greenhouses of Sweets Nurseries, now the Sweets Way estate. Just visible in the very far distance is the STC factory at New southgate. |
