The Tweets of the week in the London Borough of Barnet - 26/01/2020

Here is our pick of the best tweets from the London Borough of Barnet

1. Let's start in Burnt Oak with one of our favourite local twitter accounts taking us back to 1971

I love this. It's a screen grab from a 1971 episode of ITV's 'The Fenn Street Gang'.

We're in Burnt Oak, outside the London Co-operative building (now Peacocks), looking over at the Bald Faced Stag pub.

Well done to Geoff P on the 'Your Edgware and Burnt Oak Photos' FB page. pic.twitter.com/MPq6GgQsNT

3. Did you know Bentley Motors started in Cricklewood? You do now!

Bentley Motors was founded by Walter Owen Bentley #OTD in 1919 in #Cricklewood, North London. The manufacturer did not make a complete car for 27 years, only engines and chassis. #LondonHistory #LocalHistory #Bentley pic.twitter.com/gUmtZr3RUk

5. We support the hard work of our local litter pickers, working hard to clean up our communities

The dark side... 🤦
Litter, fly tipping, dog fouling...
🖤
All these reported today to @BarnetCouncil
FYI: these collections are not for free. We foot the bill. pic.twitter.com/8Ni0ZxwOEa

7. The Mayor of Camden has been in Barnet doing one of my favourite walks and taking in a rather decent watering hole

Red Rover walk from Woodside Park to Moat Mount via the Dollis Valley Greenwalk. Parts of the walk were muddier than the Somme and guess which idiot fell flat on his face in the mud? I had intended to go... https://t.co/Dvkr0651yq
