The Asylum was self sufficient having its own farm, orchards, burial ground and water supply. The farm area is seen clearly in the photo being the fields south of the hospital buildings.
The water supply was pumped from the ornate round well house which can be seen in the field in front of the hospital on the left side. This area is now known as Friern Village Park and is open to the public.
Most of the old hospital building has now been demolished apart from the front section which has now been converted into expensive flats and a sports club.
A new pleasant housing development was built on the site of the demolished hospital buildings and farm land in 1998 and is now called Friern Village.

The area in the lower left side of the photo shows Friern Barnet Sewage Works which was closed in 1963.
That part of the photo is now part of the London Borough of Haringey.
The actual Asylum, railway station and majority of the photo is in the administration of Barnet Council not Enfield as shown.
Enfield Council area starts to right of the railway line.

New Southgate Rail Station
Monday 7th January
10:05am
In 1926 this London & North Eastern Railway station was called New Southgate and Friern Barnet.
It changed to just New Southgate in 1971.
Details of history from Wikipedia:
The station first opened on 7 August 1850 as Colney Hatch station, the Great Northern Railway (GNR) having agreed to provide a station there for the benefit of the second Middlesex County Asylum being built at Colney Hatch at that time. There were several subsequent name changes: to Southgate and Colney Hatch on 1 February 1855; to New Southgate and Colney Hatch on 1 October 1876; to New Southgate for Colney Hatch on 1 March 1883; to New Southgate and Friern Barnet on 1 May 1923; and finally to New Southgate on 18 March 1971,[2] or, as stated by other sources, on electrification of the line in 1976.[citation needed] The GNR came under the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) after "Grouping" in 1923, before British Rail took over upon nationalisation in 1948. WAGN operated the service from 1997 to 2006.

In 1926 this was known as the Middlesex County Pauper Lunatic Asylum. In 1936, the name was changed to "Friern Hospital" and never as "Friern Barnet Hospital".
The railway line was opened in 1850 and went from Kings Cross via Peterborough to Leeds.
The asylum at Colney Hatch is well described in the book by R. Hunter and I.Macalpine "Psychiatry for the Poor"
