The tweets of the week in the London Borough of Barnet 6th August 2023

 Without further ado, here we go!

1. We agree

It's really quite sad to see how neglected some London Underground stations are. This is Edgware, terminus of the Northern Line. Next year this station celebrates its centenary. One can only hope that by then @TfL can fund a few pennies down the back of its sofa and tidy it up. pic.twitter.com/UahRXtJOaM

2. We ended the pre season friendly season with a friendly between Hadly FC and Wingate and Finchley. 1-1 seemed a fair result

Roughly 81 gone @hadleyfc 1 - 1 @WinFinchleyFC

The one and only @lukealfano_ puts away the penalty ⚽️❤️🧱 pic.twitter.com/8Q7m0HuLcp

3. If you want to make the cut here, good local music tweets like this are an excellent way!

4. ....and whilst in Cricklewood, some local history

Sharing from Cricklewood Now and Then Facebook:

Here's a nice Express Dairy (Claremont Road) picture from 1933 (the dairy opened in 1929).

7. Hard to imagine really

This tree was alive before London and England even existed.

Perhaps a Roman soldier out of their new town of Londinium set eyes on it

8. Wildlife post of the week

It's always a pleasure when watching bats at dusk to have one of the local hedgehogs come out to feed on the food left out for the foxes who keep the rat population in check. #urbanwildlife @WildLondon @LNHSoc @iGiGL @LondonNPC pic.twitter.com/skVRAY40WF

9. This....

(1/2) #LoveParks week is a time to celebrate our vital green spaces, but women are 3 times more likely than men to feel unsafe in parks in the day, and this inequality deepens at night. New research reveals how we can make green spaces safer: https://t.co/mdhpYemRDU
