The tweets of the week in the London Borough of - 9th July 2023

With all the talk of Twitter falling to bits and rival services starting, it is small wonder that there are still so many excellent Tweeters in Barnet. This week, we have a wonderful selection for your delectations.


1. Lets start with this rather wonderful tweet. If you look, there are many things in Burnt Oak worth a look (more of that later)

2. Good to see that there is work to keep the Silk Stream in good shape.

Listen to our Engagement Manager Sam Bentley-Toon explain why we worked with volunteers to remove Himalayan balsam by the Burnt Oak Brook. The Brook runs through Watling Park in the London Borough of Barnet. #actionforsilkstream pic.twitter.com/UFbas7QSRv

3. It is almost criminal that this landmark was knocked down.

The Schweppes soft drinks factory 1896. (Demolished 1984).
In 1896, Schweppes opened a large mineral water factory at the top of Wilberforce Rd, West Hendon. The site was chosen near to an artesian well and near Edgware Rd and the Midland Railway. pic.twitter.com/LWqhxQXhCD

4. I saw one of these billboards and assumed it was an advert for underwear, not porn sites. Not really sure that porn should be advertised on High Street posters

Raunchy billboards featuring X-rated model Eliza Rose OnlyFans porn site have been posted in Harrow, Edgware & Norwood, London.🥴

As you can imagine, the residents in these areas aren’t very happy as it isn’t Soho & the billboards are being defaced already.👍 pic.twitter.com/CdqpuCpQph
