An accidental find on ebay. This used book of matches is from The Starlight Grill at the Abercorn Arms, Stanmore. I am going to make a guess that it dates from the early 1970s. At that time the Abercorn & the other pubs listed on the inside was owned by Benskins, the Watford Brewers.

West Hampstead Underground station 1935 & 2026. The whole ground floor has been altered, with the original station entrance now a flower shop, & the current entrance was once a Finlay's tobacconist. The rather nice arched windows have been lost in the process. 1935 image LT Museum Collection.

This Camden Council signage on Eversholt Street looks like it's been there a long time. I reckon it went up at the same time as the tower block it is attached to. My guess it went up in the late 1960s.

St Mary's Church, Eversholt Street, Somers Town, NW1, in the late 1820s, and this morning. The Church was built between 1824 and 1827, and had been in need of restoration. Fortunately the charity group Friends of St Mary's has secured monies through fundraising. The frontage now looks splendid.

More elevated skyline for Edgware, if it gets approval from Barnet Council. The Railway Hotel and Forumside will be completely dwafed by high rise development. Here's the link to the Barnet Planning Portal (Case 26/0536/FUL) publicaccess.barnet.gov.uk/online-appli...

RAF Hendon Aerodrome in 1961 & 2026. Last weekend, @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social screened 'Emergency', which was released in 1962. It used a number of locations in Colindale, in particular the site of the old Hendon Aerodrome. 1. The 1918 hangers, now absorbed into the 1972 RAF Museum.

I posted earlier that @talkingpicstv is showing the 1962 film 'Emergency' this morning @reelstreets.bsky.social has an entry for this film, with screen grabs of locations. This one is a real poser. It is at the former RAF Hendon, but for the life of me, I cannot work out where. Any ideas?

Bushey Heath deserves better than this. Totally out of scale, and not fitting in with its neighbours. It seems to me that M&S is now just a monster. Closing down stores in places like Newport, whilst acting like Gail's and exploiting well-heeled areas. www.watfordobserver.co.uk/news/2644449...
