January.
We start with one from a TOTW regular Mark Amies and his tweet to get the Railway Hotel proper protection.
@Barneteye Thanks to the 905 people who signed my petition Now @BarnetCouncil & @HistoricEngland do something please change.org/p/historicengl…
February
As you know, we love a historical week. Here is a cracker from Tim Dunn
The Smith's Potato Crisp Factory, Cricklewood.

March
We rather liked this one from The Barnet Police. Not sure you'd see this from too many other London Borough Police forces.

Many of us have been affected by The Northern Line works. Here is what they were doing
Track renewal works at Burnt Oak - Collindale, this work will help to create a smoother ride and reduce maintenance #improvingthetube

In May, we had the North Finchley Finchley Festival. John Keough was rather taken with The False Dots!
The False Dots at the Bohemia, North Finchley. Tomorrow night, The Upsetters! #london #music ift.tt/2r4u2sw

And in June we had the Mill Hill Music Festival and street Markets, which were rather a lot of fun!
Great sound from Heywood and Moore band! #country music live in #Millhill! @UdensonCaldbeck @millhill_nf @MillHillRFC@millhillfest
July
July saw Burnt Oak in the crosshairs of one of our fellow London bloggers, the incomparable Diamond Blogger.
August
I loved this Tweet of Hendon FC in Italy in 1972. Some pictures just make you smile.
September
This simply had to be the tweet for September.

Probably my favourite local picture of the year. Simply stunning shot of The Bald Faced Stag in Finchley

Do you want our park to look like this or this
I thought long and hard about this choice. Mark Amies has been nothing if not dogged in his efforts to ensure The Railway Hotel in Edgware is properly restored and looked after. So we end the year pretty much where we started. As long as Mark and all of the other great people in Barnet that we support carry on, we'll be here by your side, doing our bit!
@HistoricEngland @HE_LondonAdvice @BarnetCouncil Is this really how a Grade 2 listed building should be treated? A car wash and a coach station? #RailwayHotelEdgware @Barneteye@BrokenBarnet @ReasonableNB
So that's it. Of course there are hundreds of tweets I could have picked. Narrowing it down to one a month was pretty hard work actually. You can see the whole lot again by clicking here.
