This volume recalls the varied history of Finchley, Hendon, Totteridge, Edgware, the Hadleys and Barnet during a period of momentous national events and unprecedented local change. The authors demonstrate the differences between the Barnet area today and the Barnet of 100 years ago. The rapid development that took place in the first part of the 20th century is portrayed, as are the houses, shops, businesses and entertainments of the time. The book goes on to remember the impact of two world wars, and of constant redevelopment, and to describe the changing character of the local community. The pictures of more recent times show the austere post-war years and the 1950s, the coming of carparks, shopping centres and supermarkets, and the fads and fashions of successive generations. They also record schools, public services, transport, sports and pastimes as they evolved into the forms that are familiar today.
