Titanic Connections out of the Past 5 THE ARCHER Out of the Past JANUARY 2001 By Jessie Tanner (formerly Jessie Crook) who now lives in Bishop’s Stortford. An article by Robert Kent set me thinking about East Finchley traders of my youth -1930s - 1940s. How well I remember Bradshaw’s departmental store, next to the Black Bess cafe. Opposite, little single-storey shops included Myers, a general stores, and a cobblers where I lost a pair of shoes when the landmine fell.

However, it is also a city well-served by open spaces. There are numerous small parks which provide relief retreat from city life, while areas such as Richmond Park and Riverside, Hyde Park, Hampstead Heath, Epping Forest and Wimbledon Common are real recreational treasures. Although not so obviously popular, many of our cemeteries and churchyards provide a much overlooked such amenity. Many of those established in Victorian times were designed to be used as places of recreation by the public as well as places of burial. Many are still in use and remain beautiful and interesting places for quiet walks. Some, on ceasing active use for burials, have been developed as wildlife sanctuaries and community parks. As is the case with parklands, there are some especially splendid cemeteries in the capital which stand out from the rest. I would personally recommend the City of London, Islington and St.
