Constructing Golders Green station (1906)
Taken from atop the tunnel entrance, it’s interesting to see the development in anticipation of the station. Most of the other pre-opening shots from just a year before show a rural crossroads.

Burnt Oak (1932)
The map shows two now-defunct airfields.
London Aerodrome (Hendon Aerodrome) became RAF Hendon before closing in the 1950s. The area became Grahame Park.
Stag Lane was a private aerodrome between 1915 and 1933, later sold for housing development.
