Dist:0.2km<br/>A disparate group of buildings on the west side of the High Road. The Amber Gallery, an art and jewellery dealer located in the centre of the photo has an archway leading through to a courtyard behind. Several other buildings along this stretch of the road have similar courtyards. The road between the shops, just left of centre, is Woodside Park Road.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Hairdressers on the corner of Avenue Road, North Finchley. Several other premises within the building are 'to let' or recently sold. The faded sign between the upper storey windows tell of a past life as home to E'wd Croft, Contractors for Removals. The main road on the left is the High Road.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Shops, building societies become banks and fast food, the story of many high streets around the country. The grey modern building on the extreme left was built on the site of Prior's department store. Prior's had moved to a new location at the junction of Castle Street and High Road. The two imposing buildings occupied by an O'Neills pub and Abbey Bank currently defy my attempts to identify their original use, but they predate 1936, and the rest of the parade of shops predate 1905.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Police Cars parked up in the centre of the Great North Road in North Finchley as the officers deal with a mobile phone theft. The BMW was first on the scene and the officers from the Vauxhall Astra, having ascertained that everything was under control, promptly sped off in search of the next incident - Christmas is a busy time for the Police.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Shops along the east side of the High Road at the junction with Friern Park. Coffee Republic was once a hardware store and, before that, who knows what else? The design of the building, which dates from 1906, is somewhat unique. The adjacent shops and bank do not appear to have had upper storeys. The Monday morning traffic is quite light in the period between the rush hour and shopping.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Alleyway, which seems to be called Winifred Place (though the small wooden name board looks a bit unofficial!), beside the Iceland Supermarket with some interesting kerbstones and cobbles. I wonder if they were laid to fill wheelruts. There was a bus service from the Torrington (a now closed pub on the corner of Lodge Lane) to Charing Cross in 1851 and the vehicles may have turned here. An alternative, suggested by the 'point like' formation of the Kerbstones in the foreground, is that there were tram sidings here. More research is required! The road at the other end is the High Road.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Located on the High Road. The different shades of brick indicate that the exchange has grown over the years.
