Thats right. The last 'pub' was Wetherspoons, which closed about either years ago. Pub free desert

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.

Yes, I think the changes were made in the late 1930s. Often photographs were taken for record purposes before the work was done.

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.

Looking at that as I went down Haverstock Hill on a number 1 bus.

I saw this place on something I was watching, the other day. Might have been a 1974 episode of Z Cars....🤔

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.

To the left the 'artist's impression', and to the right, the architectural plans, submitted to Barnet Council for approval. Quite different levels of perception.

The film is a rather obscure one called 'Assassin' and I had posted up images from it two years back, on Instagram. It had also written an article for my blog, which you can read here NW London on Film – Edgware – Assassin (1973) – Words by Mark Amies share.google/ECHTkpw2Bjq5...

Interestingly enough, on Gracie Group's website the development is rather anonymously describedas 'North London'. However accompanying it is a an image that is a screengrab from a 1973 British movie....

Images posted by the architectural design company Studio Egret West on its Instagram account last week, of the intended refurbishment of the Railway Hotel in Edgware, and the land behind it to be redeveloped into apartment blocks. The developers are Gracie Group. ##railwayhoteledgware

The first edition of The Muppet Show was broadcast in selected ITV regions on this day in 1976. It ran for 120 episodes between 1976 and 1981.

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...

3. In 1961 we are looking from the 1918 hangers in image 1, over to the Grahame White hanger. This was moved to its current site in the early 2000s. I contributed my 'now' photos to the @reelstreets.bsky.social website. You can see the rest of the locations on there.

2. I eventually identified the building behind the police car as the RAF Supply Control Centre, which was opened in June 1962. At the point of filming in the winter of 1961 it was still under construction. The same location now is covered by the Beaufort Park residential complex

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.

A good post here from @mikeyashworth.bsky.social I was going to post up something. Its not a totally new discovery but its clear it got alot of views yesterday.

NW London Time Machine @timenw.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

I did wonder if someone had put the footage through an ai tool. Of course its not new. This footage has been around via another YouTube account,I am certain. I recall feasting over it more than five years ago

NW London Time Machine @timenw.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Yes, I did see this yesterday Mike. I was contacted via Instagram messaging by one person about it, then another via Facebook messaging, so this has been doing the rounds. By the way that last image is the Target roundabout at Northolt.
