High Road (Finchley N2)
Last updated:
Shortly before 1300 a new road north out of London was made through Finchley, which we now call the High Road. At the bottom of the hill just where the railway crosses the road there was a bridge, later called Hanson's Bridge (1444), over a stream called Mutton Brook. The road was improved in 1712. It passed up the hill from Hanson's Bridge to Fortis Green Road. We now call this part of the road Stag Hill, but it was formally New Gate Lane.

Arkley and Barnet Gate
Last updated:
Arkley Between 1800 and 1890, Arkley Village was often known as Barnet Common or 'West Barnet', but the older name of Arkley has been revived since then. The area was referred to in medieval documents as “Southhaw”, and may be older than High Barnet. Nobody is sure what the 'Ark', part of Arkley means but the 'ley' means a clearing and was in use by 1330. During the 1950s, a 13th century kiln at Dyke Cottage was excavated, revealing a large cooking pot. Rowley appears in a document dated 1005, and means a clearing in a birch wood.
