The Tweets of the week in the London Borough of Barnet - 16th May 2021

 So here we are again, at the end of the week. Today is the first Sunday off that I've had since the start of the year, so it is noce to be able to chill out and enjoy the rain! It is nice to have a cup of tea and enjoy putting this together in a leisurely fashion for a change, whilst watching the recording of Match of the day!

Anyway, here's our selection of the very best tweets from the nicest tweeters in our neighbourhood,

1. Lets start with a nice drone shot of the new Brent Cross West Station (and a little advanced warning that we'll be covering this in more detail later in the week)

Another stunning pic of the Eastern Overbridge installation, this time from a drone camera overhead. Read more about the works here https://t.co/LUlrBWop2S pic.twitter.com/66ypZC8Syl

2. A big shout out to these wonderful people. Don't let anyone tell you we don't have a fantastic community here

Brilliant turn out today! More than 30 volunteers of all ages joined forces to keep the Welsh Harp looking clean and green! Found any sort of litter, collected over 70 bags of rubbish. It's been a great community effort! 👏🏻Thanks everyone!🌿🚮 pic.twitter.com/UYlsDTXsoz

3. I love this tweet. I can recall the picture being taken, it caused quite a stir. The Kwan Yin made a big play of being the first Chinese restaurant outside of the West End. (note the actress is Imogen Hassell).

August 8th 1970, & actress Imogen Halsall is sitting on the grass at Simmond's Mead, Mill Hill to celebrate the 12th year of the Kwan Yin Restaurant. Various celebrities attended the event that day. The restaurant went onto become the Good Earth.

8. A fascinating tweet from the Mill Hill Historic Society

At the bottom of Highwood Hill where it turns into Lawrence Street near the green by the Forge some vegetation has been cleared away for a development revealing an Anderson air raid shelter - see it before it's removed! pic.twitter.com/ITN0mL4wJr

9. A little bit of Hendon history

The Chequers pub, once located at 20 Church Road, Hendon. Closed in 2016 and was converted to a children’s nursery by 2018. #lostpubs #pubhistory #hendon #nw4 pic.twitter.com/2ogBBPWgFa

10. A Mill Hill Landmark disappeared this week. We do hope he comes back soon!

Looks like St Joseph is going on a little trip, be careful boys it's the most iconic statue that looks over Mill Hill pic.twitter.com/wlojUgfSpM
