More about this scene

Dated 1923, the neo-Georgian terrace of shops and flats was built to coincide with the arrival of the Northern Line in that same year. The reassuring style of the architecture, with its Ionic pilasters and solid timber and glass shop fronts, was designed to attract the young city worker to live in a world somewhere between the town and the country. Out of shot to the left is a very pretty bank building in the same, but rather more luxurious, style.

Early Edgware

I remember the boys club on Chandos crescent we used to go there 2 or 3 nights a week. All harmless innocent fun growing up around Edgware in early 1970's I lived on Buckingham Road and went to school in St Thomas at Canons Park. Thats now gone just memories left. Good ones does anybody remember me. Derek Doyle. It would be great to hear from anyone who grew up and lived around Edgware in the late 1960's early 70's Thanks
