I daresay the London Borough of Barnet has not been at the top of most people's news agenda's this week, what with lockdowns and Presidential Elections. But that does not mean we've not had some great tweeting! Here is our pick.
1.The changing face of Burnt Oak
The Bald Faced Stag, Burnt Oak, circa 1930, and this morning.

6. What a time to start a new business! We wish them every success. When the time is right, we'll deffo nip on a train down and check this out.

They’ll be joining the sourdough bread, #falafel and #Japanese stalls. The cheese cake from the Japanese stall is simply divine #markets #streetfood pic.twitter.com/0W1T9M4czN
7. Looking for some interesting local history to check out during lockdown? (*** Ed Note *** We have been contacted by several readers who have pointed out that the article is riddled with errors. Handley Page were active in Cricklewood until 1970 and Cricklewood studios is now a Matalan. We should really expect better from a site put together for Barnet Council)
Are you aware of the link between #Cricklewood and British aviation? 🛫 Learn about Cricklewood Aerodrome and the legacy of aircraft designer Sir Frederick Handley Page in the new article on our website:https://t.co/db1uEFjPec
