Over the years this old footpath has been adjusted to run through a car park and a housing development and has lost its clarity and directness.

This appears to be a railway branch but I have never seen it on old maps or in railway histories. Does anyone have any information?

It was common practice to build temporary sidings to move in the large quantities of material requied to build the new housing about this time, so it was probably ripped back up before anyone got to map it.



A further example is detailed by Maurice at Burnt Oak station in EPW016517

The Phoenix Cinema. One of the oldest in the country and still operating very successfully in 2015.

Anyone know the name of this church and when it was demolished?

The church was East Finchley Congregational Church. It was a large Victorian gothic structure in its own grounds looking to me more like a C of E parish church. I believe it was replaced with the existing shops + flats in about the early 1970's. I know it was still there at the time of the Aberfan disaster in 1966.
