The Tweets of the week in the London Borough of Barnet - 12/04/2020

Last week, I simply couldn't find enough tweets of interest to warrant a list. This week, things are rather different. Enjoy


1. Let's start in Burnt Oak. I love this

Decided to go on a tour of Britain via google street view. Not sure how far I will get. But I figured I should start off from my native home Burnt Oak. Drawing in a stillman & brin delta book. Not sure where the virtual road will go. Gonna follow the map. pic.twitter.com/AUFaI7ujPQ

2. And for a slight less current view of the HA8 neighbourhood

St Margaret of Antioch, Edgware, 1790 - 1807 by unknown artists.

First mentioned in the 13th Century as used by the Knights Hospitaller, the most ancient part of the church still standing is the 14th century tower. Much altered since.

3. And another from HA8, a much loved pub, which despite listing has been closed for years

The White Hart Hotel in Edgware High Street, circa 1930s.

From Edgware in Camera by Quotes Limited 1991.

8. It is amazing what visits our gardens, that most of us never even notice

Day 28:

Today I spent some time in the garden trying to get some decent photo's of the birds visiting the feeders in my garden. So here are some photo's of the local Goldfinches enjoying some Sunflower hearts. #EasterSaturday #SolaceInNature #londonbirds pic.twitter.com/smYXaIU2Dz

9. Dollis Viaduct is always worth a look!

A beauty! The #DollisBrook Viaduct, 1863. It is the highest point on the #London Underground above ground level, at nearly 60 ft. It carries the Northern Line from Mill Hill East station to Finchley Central station pic.twitter.com/H8NRktBhnp
