The tweets of the week in the London Borough of Barnet - 23rd January 2022

 How has your week been? I've had a pretty good week. Five a side footy on Thursday, pleasant evening in the services club on Friday and a wonderful evenings entertainment last night at The Black Horse in Barnet in the company of the rather wonderful Mr Lee Thompson of Madness and The Silencerz. It is great seeing a cracking band in a pub again. It was packed.

Anyway, enough of my week. What have the rather wonderful tweeters of the Borough of Barnet been up to.

1. Lets start with a date for your diary from one of our favourite Tweeters

2. A sad little bit of Bunrt Oak history. I didn't know about this, it's one of the reasons I still love Twitter. Ron is a wonderful Tweeter

22 January 1889. Birth of Harry George Hawker MBE, AFC., in Moorabbin, Victoria, Australia. Aviation pioneer and co-founder of Hawker Aircraft. He died 12 July 1921 in the crash of his Nieuport Goshawk (G-EASK) in a park at Burnt Oak, Edgware while preparing for the Aerial Derby. pic.twitter.com/n6E0nI0uSv

3. If you want to get on this list, a bit of Rock and Roll memorabilia is a surefire way. The Sparrowhawk in Broadfields, Edgware was a real hub of 70's and 80's rock and roll. The Meteor's are well worth a check out

6. This tweet is wonderful!

Mystery solved: Both A Night to Remember (1958) and I, Monster (1971) were filmed at Cricklewood Pumping Station. The building remains, but the engines are long-gone, unfortunately. Big thanks to Adrian Charlton for solving this one. Photo by J Hupfield: https://t.co/AbuoOauceo https://t.co/sna0r9lTFQ pic.twitter.com/0B2ZAjC4Co

Very geeky studio picture of the youth radio station I very briefly worked at back in 2008 based in Colindale, I updated their Myriad with loads of new music once a week 🤓 #Radio #RadioStation #Studio #London pic.twitter.com/14t8r2RCCV
