Like the other local ancient woodlands in the area, the Wood is dominated by oak standards, but the understorey is much less diverse and consists of almost pure stands of multi-stemmed, overgrown hornbeam coppice. Beech, hazel, mountain ash and Wild Service Tree are all rare, though there are some fine specimens of the last species.
Following heavy bombing during World War II the market was extensively rebuilt, with most of the shops closing. The last shops closed on the street in 1973, and the only commercial premises remaining is a single pub, the Duke of Cambridge. However, the area maintained its association with pig farming well into the 20th Century, with a herd of 25 pigs kept on nearby Prospect Place as late as 1955[1].
The platforms comprise two parallel islands with tracks on both sides. The inner pair of tracks served the 'high level' route to Highgate, whilst the outer pair served the tunnel route. Underground trains first served the station on 3 July 1939 which acted as a temporary terminus for the Northern Line whilst the electrification of the line to the north was completed.[5] Northern Line services to High Barnet began on 14 April 1940.[5] The station continued to be served by LNER steam trains from Highgate (High-level) station until 2 March 1941 when that service was discontinued.[4] The inner platforms are now generally used only by trains starting or terminating at East Finchley and those coming from or going to the depot south of the station.
When Victoria Miro was young, her father had a Covent Garden grocery stall. Her parents were keen on culture and saved, so the family could take holidays in Italy to see the art there.[8] She studied art, then painted at home. She married a lawyer, and had a son and daughter in the 1970s, explaining, "my need to paint seemed to go away when I had children."[8] She looked after the children, until 1985, when she started her Cork Street gallery.[8]
