Description: EXTRA INFOPHOTO LONG POND ON TOTTERIDGE COMMON IN NAIRN'S LONDON (1966) IAN NAIRN SAYS OF TOTTERIDGE: MORE OF A PHENOMENON THAN A VILLAGE. IT IS A RIDGE-BACK SOUTH-WEST OF BARNET AND THE VIEWS ARE GREEN IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. NORTH FINCHLEY SHOULD SHOW UP ON THE SOUTHERN SKYLINE BUT DOESN'T AND THE MIRACLE OF THE GREEN BELT HAS WORKED AGAIN. THE COUNTRY HERE IS FAR BETTER THAN THE BEDRAGGLED FIELDS FURTHER OUT SPRINKLED WITH PYLONS AND MOTORWAYS. A STRIP OF GREEN WINDS ALONG THE RIDGE: WAVY SIDES BIG TREES SOMETIMES FIVE YARDS WIDE AND SOMETIMES FIFTY. THERE IS A LONG POND. BEHIND ARE THE HOUSES OF A HUNDRED DRAWING-ROOM COMEDIES: 1910-ISH BIG COMFORTABLE AND IN FACT VERY NICE INDEED. AND THIS DREAM GOES ON FOR A WHOLE MILE. THE CURTAIN IS ALWAYS RISING ON THE MAID SETTING THE TABLE FOR TEA. HERE THERE IS A CONTRACT WITH THE LANDSCAPE AND IT BECOMES A MARVELLOUS PLACE UNLIKE ANYWHERE ELSE NEAR LONDON. SIGNPOSTS FOR CROWS WOULD READ BARNET 1 EDGWARE 2.THE PONDS ON TOTTERIDGE COMMON WERE PROBABLY ORIGINALLY DUG FOR GRAVEL EXTRACTION. PUBLIC FOOTPATHS LINK THE COMMON TO THE FOLLY BROOK VALLEY TO THE SOUTH AND TO THE DOLLIS BROOK VALLEY TO THE NORTH. LONG POND IS NOW MANAGED CHIEFLY FOR ANGLING. 2016 COPYRIGHT (Photograph and text in Extra Info) MARATHON PHOTO PAPER THICKNESS NORMAL PHOTOGRAPH THICKNESS NOTES REF NO MARATHON-3214 PHOTO SIZE SIZE 6 X 4 inches CONDITION: SOME CROPPING OR WHITE LINES TOP/BOTTOM MAY OCCUR DUE TO PHOTO RATIO WATERMARK IF PRESENT ON THE IMAGE WILL NOT APPEAR ON ITEM SENT TO YOU: NOTES This is a print and supply service for an image that is COPYRIGHT (Photograph and text in Extra Info) Marathon obtained from GEOGRAPH and licensed for reuse under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 Generic License details available here: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ MANY OTHER ITEMS ARE BEING ADDED TO MY SHOP DAILY
