More about this scene

This lovely village extends from Highwood Hill to the north to Mill Hill East underground station in the south. This view across the pond towards the rather miserable brick church is standard artist's stuff, but the buildings, including Mill Hill School, some of 1825, Belmont of 1773, by James Paine junior, the Missionary Institute of 1778 by John Johnson, who designed Leicester's County Rooms, along with any smaller buildings, should be seen by wandering at leisure from the underground station northwards to the attractive Rising Sun pub, and on again via Totteridge village to High Barnet underground station, a distance of about five miles.

By the early 1950s my summers were taken up by playing Cricket for Mill Hill Village ...see more
We moved to 52 Worcester Crescent, Mill Hill early in 1939 not long before the outbreak of the war. I am now 83 but I can clearly remember the bomb crater at the bottom of Ramillies Road. If you come from Bedford Road the crater was on the right not very far up, about where numbers 6,8 and 10 Ramillies now stand. This filled with water naturally and I remember Mum and Dad having a ...see more
