Stroud Green
Upper Tollington Park bridge, between Finsbury Park and Stroud Green on the abandoned Northern Heights line to Alexandra Palace, looking north on 28th March 2019. The line was earmarked to become part of the London Underground Northern Line and over a million pounds was spent on the plan before 1939 but, after 1945, the scheme was not re-started and the line closed to passengers in 1954. Goods traffic continued until 1964 and the line was retained for a further six years for empty stock workings, so did see tube trains, even if hauled by battery locos and devoid of passengers who had to fight their way onto overcrowded buses, as they still do. Tracks were removed in 1971 and this is now one of two separate sections known as the Parkland Walk footpath.
