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.

I was told her husband was a badly wounded WW1 veteran and allegedly met her in a hospital ...see more
I was at St George’s School from 1943 - 1949 and I seem to be unique in my really happy time at the school. Mr Smith was very kind and gentle - he really hated having to take a ruler to my hand once - and yes Mrs Smith was really terrifying but I don’t ever remember being taught by her ? Maybe writing - when we dipped our pens into ink pots. Mrs Phillips was lovely and ran the school percussion orchestra - ...see more
I have few memories of my primary school which was in a private house in Croft Close a turning off of Marsh Lane, but I do remember being very happy there. This was during the latter war years. However I had a very bad experience at the first private junior school I attended. This was St Georges in Flower Lane, Mill Hill Broadway in 1945 and my father was still in the army. The ...see more
Not long after the completion of Worcester Crescent and Bedford Road, the construction of Ramillies Road I had acquired a large number of new friends, all boys. My parents had moved from Woodford Essex to 52 Worcester Crescent just before my first birthday and the outbreak of WW2 in 1939. The house was a new John Laings build. By the early 1950s my summers were taken up by playing Cricket for Mill Hill ...see more
