I am researching the social history of parks and open spaces within the borough, so if any Times Series readers have old photos or information — on areas from Hadley to Golders Green, Childs Hill to East Barnet and Edgware to East Finchley — I would be very grateful to hear from you.

So please, dig out those old photos and snippets of information, and email me at jim.rea@btinternet.com
