School to shut a year earlier. A secondary school will close in 2005, disrupting GCSEs and leaving pupils needing new places at schools in Barnet and neighbouring boroughs. Barnet Council’s cabinet decided on Monday to bring forward the closure of Christ Church CE Secondary School from the originally proposed date of 31 August 2006 by a year, which means no new pupils will be admitted in September. The council decided that the school, in Warnham Road, should be closed because it has been on special measures for four years, has a falling number of pupils and problems with recruiting staff. Brian Coleman, a governor at Christ Church, said “I have no doubt that a quick solution is what’s needed, because otherwise we’ll have a slow, lingering death at the school which will be in nobody’s interest, not least the pupils who are being educated there.” He said that if the school was kept open for Year 9 pupils to finish their GCSEs, while all others moved to other schools, many staff and pupils would leave and the council would incur huge costs.

The Borough Architect reported that Messrs Michael Raynor & Partners had prepared two possible schemes for the redevelopment of the site. The Borough Architect to submit both schemes to the Town Planning Committee (Barnet Council Minutes 4 Oct 1965)
31 Oct 1968. The Borough Estates Officer reported that, in connection with the Council’s for the redevelopment of “The Homestead”, by the erection of 63 flats in three blocks, it was considered that, in view of the levels of the site it would be advantageous if the drains from the development could be taken through the adjoining site owned by the Six Weeks Meeting of the Society of Friends. The Officer reported that there was no objection to the proposal (Barnet Council Minutes 31 Oct 1968)
26 Sep 1969. A start is to be made on Monday week (October 6th) on the construction of the roundabout at Betstyle Circus, popularly known as Lander’s Corner, New Southgate, which has been delayed pending the result of a public enquiry held last year. The roundabout is designed to make road conditions safer at this busy junction where five roads converge and there has been a disquieting accident rate. It is part of Enfield Borough Council’s plan for rebuilding a huge area of New Southgate. This will involve the reshaping of the district to the south of Friern Barnet Road. The question at issue at the public enquiry was whether Enfield Council should be allowed to stop up a length of High Road, New Southgate, terminating at the junction with Friern Barnet Road, and a length of Grove Road , terminating at the junction with Bowes Road, thus wiping out the two junctions. This the minister has eventually granted them permission to do. His decision makes it possible for the council to go ahead with the roundabout, but it will NOT, for the time being, mean that High Road and Grove Road will be stoppered. This action will not be taken until Enfield Council’s building operations in the redevelopment scheme reach the point where it becomes necessary. What WILL happen on Monday week is that Friern Barnet Road will be closed between the junction with High Road and with Oakleigh Road for about six weeks while public services, such as water, electricity and telephone pipes and cables are relaid. Traffic at this point is to be temporarily routed around a one-way system. Vehicles coming from Friern Barnet towards Southgate will have to turn right into High Road, left into Grove Road, left into Bowes Road and right into Waterfall Road. Traffic coming in the opposite direction will have to turn left into Bowes Road, right into Cross Road, right into The Limes Avenue, right into High Road and left into Friern Barnet Road. To facilitate traffic flow, there will be one-way working in Cross Road between Bowes Road and The Limes Avenue and in The Limes Avenue between Cross Road and High Road and in Grove Road between High Road and Bowes Road. The roundabout, which will cost in the region of £80,000 and will take about nine months to complete, will have Bowes Road, Friern Barnet Road and Oakleigh Road South converging directly onto it., and Brunswick Park Road and Waterfall Road coming in lower down Waterfall Road, qt the bottom of a long, narrow island. In the meantime, Enfield Council are proceeding with their housing scheme, which will eventually cover something like 70 acres. They have begun operations on a block of 92 maisonettes in Palmers Road and will shortly be getting on with blocks of flats and maisonettes to the south of the new roundabout site. The minister’s decision has enabled the council to finalise their plans for this part of the redevelopment area, where they hope eventually to provide a shopping precinct, more housing, an enlarged resited primary school, an old people’s home and a children’s home (Barnet Press 26 Sep 1969)

Friern Barnet & District Local History Society WELL GROVE, N20 Planning applications up to Nov 2020 Individual properties Haringey Gospel Hall Trust (HGHT) act on behalf of the Plymouth Brethren. The Brethren are believers on the Lord Jesus Christ holding the truth of His deity and they accept the authority of Scripture as the inspired word of God. There are over 40,000 Brethren worldwide who gather on the first day of the week for the Lord’s Supper and daily for reading of the Scriptures. They are located in over 300 local congregations in 19 countries. In the UK they number around 15,000 and are located in 98 local congregations from Aberdeen to St Austell and Londonderry to Lowestoft. The Brethren practiced separation from evil, recognising this as God’s principle of unity, and shun conduits of evil communications: television, the radio and unrestricted access toi the internet, desiring to live apart from worldly pleasures and pursuits but otherwise living normal lives in the wider community alongside other members of the community. As a charity HGHT is well aware of its public benefit and seeks to fulfil this. HGHT was set up as a charitable trust in 1981 to facilitate and provide places of worship for a congregation of Brethren who lived in the London Boroughs of Haringey and Barnet. It has 4 Trustees who either are or were of the local congregation. It was named after the Haringey London Borough as there was already a similar trust in Barnet carrying out the same activity for a local congregation in the Barnet.
In 1981 the congregation numbered around 180 and the meeting hall they were using, located in Waterfall Road, New Southgate, was too small, on a busy road and resulted in car parking in the surrounding roads for those attending the hall. The Trustees were given the responsibility of providing a suitable meeting hall for the congregation with adequate facilities including air conditioning, adequate seating, safe parking etc. A number of options were explored including the purchase of land in Hendon and Friern Barnet. Eventually the Trustees identified the current site in Whetstone as a suitable and centrally located site for a new meeting hall. After consultation with the LBB planning department permission was secured for the construction of a new meeting hall. This was built in 1987/8 along with two ‘tied’ bungalows which were occupied by elderly members of the congregation. The local congregation has quietly used this facility for the last 24 years and, apart from the odd occasion, has enjoyed good neighbourly relations with the surrounding properties. On a few occasions the hall has been used to its maximum capacity of around 900. Since the mid-1990s many Brethren members started moving out from larger congregations to support smaller congregations…….Families from the congregation in Whetstone have moved top Maidstone, Biggleswade, Kings Lynn, Lowestoft, Colchester, Loughborough, Reading and Perth amongst other places. This has left the congregation on Haringey at just over 50 which is not large enough to sustain the running costs of the meeting hall indefinitely. It is known that further members are planning to move away in the near future which will exacerbate the situation. In addition to this, there is already a nearby congregation in Barnet who have a modern and slightly larger meeting hall in Mays Lane, Barnet which serves members living in Barnet, Potters Bar and Brookmans Park.
The proceeds of the sale of the land will mainly be used for the upgrading and construction of new meeting facilities around the UK.

Back in November 2000, Haringey Council closed Grosvenor Road N22 to through traffic. This, coupled with the erection of traffic lights at the junction of Colney Hatch Lane and Alexandra Park Road, has led to traffic jams and a great deal of opposition from local residents. Unfortunately one of the side effects has been the drop in trade suffered by the shops in Wetherill Road (which is in Barnet). This has led to one of the shops closing down (Friern Barnet Newsletter June 2001 Page 2)
More than 2,000 people were plunged into darkness when a massive power cut blacked out a swathe of Muswell Hill streets. A cable problem cut the power to around 2,800 homes, some of which were without electricity for three hours. The fault was fixed, but the following day the houses were hit again, as engineers kept working on the problem. Some residents were still waiting for the power to come back on 24 hours after the blackout. The cuts on Thursday and Friday (11 & 12 September) hit six roads – Sydney Road, Cromwell Road, Laburnum Close, Wetherill Road, Newton Avenue and Southern Road. The electricity company, EDF Energy, apologised for any inconvenience caused (Muswell Hill Journal 11 September 2003. Page 1)

No 23. I was born in Cromwell Road and lived at 91 (I know the road has changed a great deal and also 91 no longer exists) until Approx 1958. My mother and father lived in 91 until approx 1966. My father was a shoe repairer and had a shop at 23 Wetherill Road. My brother worked in the butchers at 97 Cromwell Road. When I was younger there were all the shops you needed to survive: Lambs the greengrocer, Hilsdons the grocer, Marzettes the bakers. There was also another shoe repairer (Motts) and of course the butchers. There was also the Bethel where we used to go to Sunday school. We had very long back gardens which had allotments at the end, which my father and a few others used to tend by going over the wall at the bottom of the garden.

Friern Barnet & District Local History Society WHETSTONE STRAY (part of UPPER DOLLIS BROOK) In this stretch, the river continues to follow a mainly natural sinuous route, although its banks are partially enclosed by low wooden boards. The water is rather heavily shaded by overhanging trees; hence wetland vegetation i8s sparse, with only a few clumps of fool’s water cress and water-pepper, and tufts of pendulous sedge along the banks. However, moorhens can often be seen skulking along the water’s edge.
The riverside woodland contains oak, ash and white willow over an understorey of hawthorn, blackthorn and elm suckers. There are also some fine old hazels, recognisable by their multitude of straight, slender shoots. The ground flora is dominated by a few common species such as ivy, common nettle, cow parsley, hogweed and cleavers. However, a little searching will reveal more interesting wild flowers such as common figwort, wild angelica, ground-ivy and dog’s mercury, plus bluebelt, ramsons and carpets of lesser celandine in spring.
The fields on either side are managed mainly as informal cut and lift grassland. Among the longer grass, meadow flowers such as common sorrel, common knapweed and lesser stitchwort are quite plentiful, especially on the western side, with stands of creeping thistle, hogweed and great willowherb along the woodland edge. A number of hedgerows, which are believed to stem mainly from 19th century enclosures, cut across the fields.
A high mound just south of Totteridge Lane provides a rather different feature: a quick scramble to the top affords fine views down the valley, and an interesting opportunity to look at ecological succession. Once a landfill site (possibly involving spoil from railway cutting excavation) it is now being colonised by a roughland community of tall grasses and herbs such as false oat-grass, couch, cock’s-foot, mugwort, rosebay willowherb, Russian comfrey and creeping thistle. Soapwort, a robust plant with pink flowers, a characteristic species of land-fill and former allotment land, also occurs here. A number of species associated with more traditional meadows have also been recorded, including meadow crane’s-bill, agrimony, and perforate St John’s-wort. The London rarity sweet-briar has also been found. Dog-rosde, bramble and hawthorn scrub is gradually invading. Some areas have already given way to bramble thickets, others have succeeded to hawthorn, blackthorn or grey willow scrub, and towards the east an area of oak and sycamore woodland is developing. The range of vegetation types within such a small area represents excellent feeding and nesting habitat for small birds. (Nature Conservation in Barnet. Ecology Handbook 28. London Ecology Unit 1997)
Friern Barnet & District Local History Society WHITE HOUSE ESTATE West of Friern Barnet Lane and north of Woodhouse Road the White House estate of c. 55 of Frederick Crisp was acquired in 1908 by the British Land Co. By 1911 Ashurst, Petworth, Bramber, Warnham and Buxted Roads had been laid out between Woodhouse Road and Friern Park and the first two had been built up. Lewes Road was later inserted and Horsham Road was constructed across the grounds of Brook House, but contained little housing in 1920. (Victoria County History)
The lands of George Smith (d. 1847) north of Woodhouse Road passed to his son George Knights Smith (d. 1866), who also acquired 30 a. of the Johnston estate there in 1850. With further purchases from the Planet Building Society, Middlesex Freehold Land association, and others, he built up the White House Estate of c. 60a between Woodhouse Road, Torrington Park, and Friern Barnet Lane. After his death it was bought by Frederic Crisp of Holloway, later of the White House, who was planning building at his death in 1907. G.K. Smith acquired a further 43a. of the Johnston estate with frontages on Friern Barnet Road, on part of which he built. He sold 8a. to James Ward in 1878, and a further 33 a. by 1879, when it was laid out as the Holly Park estate. (Victoria County History page 20)
The verbatim extract from the Page 20 of the VCH is slightly unclear. To clarify: The Johnston lands were the lands allocated to John Bacon’s daughter, Lady Maria Johnston. They ran east-west in a long line, mainly to the east of Friern Barnet Lane and north of Friern Barnet Road and the asylum (i.e. the side of Friern Barnet Lane on which Holly Park Estate was built but also (a smaller extent of land on the west side of Friern Barnet Lane and north of Woodhouse Road (the side on which the White House Estate was built (Pauline Ashbridge FB&DLHS member)

No 41 - 42 Wilton Court. Aug 2004. “Save Our Shop. Community’s Favourite Store in Survival Battle. By Geoff White. A shop at the heart of a Muswell Hill community may be forced to close within months, because developers want to turn it into a flat. Wilton supermarket in Wilton Road – known locally as Billy’s – is a vital resource for people living nearby, and even offers a free delivery service for old folk who have trouble getting about. But now developers have applied to Barnet Council to turn the bustling shop into housing, and regular customers fear it will tear the heart out of the community. Regular customer Darrel Smith said: “Everyone’s very upset to hear about this, it’s been there for 11 years. It’s all very well saying there are other shops up the road – but for some of the people who rely on it, that’s a long journey.” The shop has set up a petition to marshal support from its customers, and plans to enlist the local schools in the campaign. But time is running out – Barnet Council needs objections in by September 1. Arvind Patel, who manages the store, said: “Our customers are up in arms about this. There are three schools nearby and a church, and we deliver to people who can’t make it out of their homes. Where will they go for food? There’s nothing around here. The shop’s lease is almost up, and managers are being asked to sign a new lease with a “development clause” – which would allow its owners to turn it into flats. A spokesman for the shop’s landlords did not want to comment, but stressed that no decision had been made (Page 1, Muswell Hill Journal 26 Aug 2004)

28 Aug 1936. Over the way at Woodhouse Road I saw the block of new shops, mainly empty at present. My memory allowed me to visualise the old house, Halliwick house, and the fields around, hidden partly by the high brick wall. The fields have all gone and streets and houses have come. I suppose the day will not be far distant when the remainder of the Woodhouse frontage gives way to shops and business premises (Finchley Press 28 Aug 1936)

To improve access to the tram depot, Woodhouse Road was extended to form the Kingsway in 1934, thereby pushing the whole road system further south (Finchley & Whetstone Past by John Heathfield. Page 93. Historical Publications 2001)
Friern Barnet & District Local History Society 5 Jan 1934. It is probable that the automatic traffic control signals at Friern Barnet Road, Woodhouse Road, Colney Hatch Road and Friern Barnet Lane cross-roads will be operating in a fortnights time. Substantial reconstruction of the highways in this rea is in progress, and the cost of the work will be approximately £7000. It is anticipated that the roadway will stand up to traffic for many years (Finchley Press 5 Jan 1934)
On the Friern Barnet border three tenements called the Woodhouses existed by 1655. One of them was called Wood House by 1754 and a mansion was built there between 1784 and 1798, becoming the centre of an estate created at inclosure. The existing two-storeyed building, a school, is mid-19th century and consists of a central portion of five bays with an Ionic portico and two wings, one dating from the 1920s. (Victoria County History Finchley Page 45)
At one time Halliwick Road was the southern limit of the Halliwick Manor, whose House stood until 1933 at the corner of Colney Hatch Lane and Woodhouse Road. Jelks the furniture dealer sold furniture to clients on the never-never. If clients defaulted on payment, he removed the furniture without paying back what he’d been paid. His pantechicons were drawn by horses that grazed on the fields of the old Manor House when he stored his furniture there up to 1932 (Ollie Natelson FB&DLHS 7 Jul 2002)
The council continued building at Woodhouse Road and provided another 50 houses in 1928 and 72 in 1930. All building in the 1930s accorded with the council’s town planning scheme of 12 houses to an acre where the site fronted a main road and 10 to the acre elsewhere.

12 July 2003. Today (Saturday) I was proceeding along Woodhouse Road in a westerly direction at 7.20pm when a red 2CV, also going west, missed the road and instead drove along the traffic island outside Woodhouse College. The result was the removal of two illuminated Keep Left bollards and a lamp post with a white globe on top. No other vehicles were involved and the driver was not visibly injured. The 2CV came to a stop as its wheels were no longer in contact with the road. The driver claimed that the sun got in her eyes. This is quite possible, but all the other drivers managed OK. She did not have a mobile phone. Later that night, by 10.20pm, the bollards had been repositioned with yellow flashing lights on top and the car and lamp post removed (John Holtham FB&DLHS)

3 Halliwick Court Parade. Cuneapples was a ladies hairdresser (c1945?) Mr Cuneapple I believe was Swiss and the interior to me as a small child was a place of mystery. After the little entrance with its reception desk, there were curtained off cubicles on either side to protect the clients’ modesty as they had their hair washed and set. There were large white basins and green and black tiles. Great big octopus type contraptions hung from the ceiling, not only as hair dryers but with lots of wires and clips that were used for perming. I had my first haircut there and cried all the way through it (Barbara Vian 28 March 2008)

Woodhouse School. The Woodhouse gives its name to Woodhouse Road. First mentioned as the Woodhouses in the seventeenth century, the house seems to have a Georgian shape. It was modernised about 1888, and used as a school after December 1922 (Around Whetstone & North Finchley by John Heathfield page 151)

Woodhouse School. Woodhouse School ran a poultry club (six dozen chickens in an old guinea pig run) as well as a fruit and vegetable garden (The Days of Darkness by Percy Reboul and John Heathfield Page 76)
Woodhouse School. Many shelters were cold and damp. At Woodhouse School the craft and physics masters rigged up a system of electric lighting, though heating was always a problem. Pupils often had to lean against cold damp concrete walls (The Days of Darkness by Percy Reboul and John Heathfield Page 105)
Woodhouse School. “Later that evening (Friday 21 May 1982), while I was at a reception in Woodhouse School, still in the constituency, the news came over on the television. The Union Jack was flying in San Carlos: we had returned to the Falklands.” (The Downing Street Years by Margaret Thatcher page 225)
Murray and I were both lucky enough to pass our 11 plus exams and we went to Woodhouse Grammar School. I followed Murray one year later. Mum had worked for this couple in Christchurch Avenue early on and the husband was a master at Haberdashers Askes School, Cricklewood. He suggested that I sat an entrance exam to see whether I could get in; apparently, I would be able to get some of grant. Little did I realise how humiliated I would feel when it was obvious that most of the youngsters there were mostly from private schools. I had to sit a French exam with about three weeks of French under my belt that I had just started at Woodhouse. The odd le and la looked ridiculous ion the page! Still, I was very happy at my school in North Finchley and, although not a major success academically, I still did my A levels and joined the Eastern Electricity Board as a Student Engineer in 1959. Not my first choice – I would have liked to have done something in the film or TV world. I had also been offered a missile design traineeship at de Havilland, something that dad was quite keen for me to go into. I turned it down, thinking it was a fair way to travel to Hatfield every day. It turned out to be the right decision as many of the Trainee Engineers on
Friern Barnet & District Local History Society the Blue Streak project lost their jobs. The whole organisation became British Aerospace several years later. We were both athletic and I followed Murray as year group Athletics champion through junior, middle and senior age groups. We both became Athletics Captains of our house, Scott. We also ran outside of school as well as representing North Middlesex Schools at White City and Hillingdon stadiums. Murray had left school at sixteen and gone into banking where he met Jenny at the Hampstead Garden Suburb branch of Barclay’s. Later he went on to become manager at Barclay’s Hampstead and Highgate branches. My best friend at school was Steve Sumpter until Gordon Smith joined us in the sixth form. His father was a diplomat in the Foreign Office and the family had just come back from a number of years working in Canberra, Australia. Occasionally we managed to get into trouble with Mr King, Head of School. I landed up getting caned twice for absolutely trivial misdemeanours. Today these would be seen as nothing to comment on. Goodness knows how many times Steve got the cane. In those days, even our shoes were inspected as we went out of assembly and not coming up to standard was seen as a detention prospect. All three of us were quite musical; Gordon could play piano and guitar whilst Steve and I used to sing, harmonising in the boy’s showers. The echo effect made us sound very professional and, even though I say it myself, we did sound good. I sang tenor solos for the school on several occasions for The Messiah and Easter Passion with Charles Prrocter as our music teacher. It was always a sold out success at Christ Church. On one occasion he introduced a new piece of music in The Messiah that we hadn’t previously sung Thou Shall Break Them, which is quite an up tempo number. I thought! During rehearsals I took a stance in front of the pews and started to tap my toe at a slight angle and gave the music a bit of gusto in time to the rhythm of the music. Mr Procter tapped his baton, looked me straight in the eye and said: “You’re not Elvis Presley, Lewis” and gave me a wry smile. At least it gave the rest of the school a good laugh. The day on which we performed was fine and obviously a lot more in keeping with the atmosphere of the moment. In years one and two I was in the X class – talk about distinguishing the elite from the rest. The A stream and the X stream, not even called B. I was fortunate to come top in year two on three occasions and got promoted to the A group. Initially it was quite a struggle. One of my friends in those early years was John Cordell. His dad was gatekeeper at Colney Hatch Hospital and I frequently went to play cricket and golf on the fields. In those days patients walked around the grounds with gentian violet painted on parts of their heads, where they had hurt themselves. We often stopped and spoke to them and didn’t think anything of it. At school the boys stood in lines to the left of the hall and the girls sat on the left- hand side. I believe there were roughly 350 segregated students in total. Between the two sexes was a gap where we would down when we used to parade into the hall or back to our classrooms after assembly. This also applied to the playground. Occasionally, the whole school had to stay in detention when someone had made a minor/major misdemeanour and hadn’t owned up to it Classically, Mr King was quite the disciplinarian and used to tell us, in assembly, that he never forgot. Alistair Bennett, who was in Murray’s year said quite loudly “No, elephants never do!” At least half of the upper school burst out laughing and I think practically everyone had heard it, except Mr King. I think that was one of the times when we all got it in the neck. On another occasion, a certain group of us had been told off in no uncertain terms. One of the guys was so incensed by the accusations that over the weekend he hung a sign and a dummy by a noose from the flagpole in the front of the school. The sign read HMS Prison. As you can imagine, Mr King was not amused. It was all over the local papers. The culprit went on to become a Secondary School teacher. Great times were had by all! (My Story by Ray Lewis.

School caretaker Jim Jackson’s motto is to be positive and make the most of life. He has worked in Barnet for 35 years and has been awarded the British Empire Medal in the New Year’s Honours List – with an invitation to a Buckingham Palace garden party to look forward to as well. Mr Jackson said: It’s totally thrilling and I feel really humbled by it and honoured to accept it.” He says the award is also for his wife June, whom he says is his “rock” and has supported him all along the way.

1 Dec 2016. A secondary school in East Finchley has joined forces with a popular sixth-form college in the borough which is always oversubscribed. The agreement between The Archer Academy, in Beaumont Close, and Woodhouse College, in Woodhouse Road, North Finchley, has been described by both parties as “an opportunity to share provision and resources”. And for high-achieving students from The Archer Academy with the appropriate grade it will mean priority admission into the sixth form at Woodhouse. Lucy Harrison, The Archer Academy’s headteacher, said: “I am thrilled to be entering into a strong, long-term partnership with Woodhouse College, an outstanding sixth-form college which shares our vision for success and our ambitious, supportive approach to education and personal growth, both inside and outside of the classroom. We have a great deal to offer one another and have already started working together to share best practice in a number of areas. I know our students will be an asset to the Woodhouse College community and look forward to watching those of them who choose to follow this pathway to progress to this next stage in their educational careers”. John Rubinstein, principal of Woodhouse College, echoed her thoughts, saying: “I am delighted to be starting this partnership with The Archer Academy, I have been following the development of the school with great interest and am hugely impressed with what I have seen of the energy and innovation
