East Finchley
The Archer statue pointing towards central London at East Finchley on 1st April 2021. This station was originally opened by the GNR in 1867 and was rebuilt for the Northern Line in 1939. Trains were extended from here north to High Barnet on 1st April 1940 but apart from a further short section from Finchley Central to Mill Hill East that opened on 18th May 1941, the rest of the Northern Line extensions between Finsbury Park and Alexandra Palace, Mill Hill East and Edgware and on a brand new line to Bushey Heath were cancelled after 1945. In the fields north of Edgware parts of a never-used viaduct, on which would have stood the proposed Brockley Hill station, survive as a memorial to the railway that never was.
