Golders Green, Golders Green Road 1960

More about this scene
Golders Green was farmland until the turn of the century; prosperity came in 1905 with the arrival of the Northern line. It is famous for its crematorium, partly designed by Sir Ernest George. The London Crematorium Company had anticipated a population explosion and bought its land cheaply in 1902. The photograph looks between earlier development on the right, dated 1909, and the more prominent buildings of 1913 by H A Welsh. In the distance is the town centre church of St Alban and St Michael, 1933, by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, a pleasing design with its lantern tower and simple Gothic detailing.
