The Tweets of The Week in the London Borough of Barnet - 15/09/2019

So what has been going on in the wonderful world of Barnet's Tweeters? It's been a pretty good week for interesting tweets, even had to bend my ten tweets rule slightly.

Don't forget to follow anyone who tickles your fancy (or anything else).

1. We start with a great picture of the business run by some esteemed Mill Hill residents, based in Cricklewood

Here is a Samuelson's Commer, for real, outside Samcine House, on Cricklewood Broadway in the 1960s.

2. I love this tweet from Cricklewood coffee roasters! Didn't realise Cricklewood could look so continental

might look like Italy but was actually Cricklewood.... served some great coffee to the great community round here thanks @NW2_RA who have been for many years helping to clean up the area one step at a time 👍👏 why not signup to the North West Two association & support them! pic.twitter.com/a6PWOP6DqY

3. And a rather nice Tweet from the Mill HilL Historical Society.  I've bent the rules for them, as rules are made to be broken!

Hiding behind Mill Hill Circus in Goodwyn Avenue is Lawrence Farmhouse, which in years gone by stood at the foot of Lawrence Street.
For years this 17th century building was unloved and derelict. Eventually it was bought, sympathetically restored and now it used as offices pic.twitter.com/BLXyQYesf8

6. You can't have too many reminders of what can go wrong when right wing, nationalist, populists take over a country.

9. Fancy some qquality jazz in Mill Hill?

18th Sep - Kate Daniels and her Quartet- Kate Daniels band returns to the club to present songs from their forthcoming album "Cool for Night People".Kate's smoky late night voice delights audiences, evoking Peggy Lee, Julie London and the cellar bars of the 50's and 60's. Plz RT.
