The Woodman, 418 Oakleigh Road North
Undated postcard, probably from early 1900s

I have noticed that someone has crossed off the bit that says "NEW SOUTHGATE". I presume that the bottom end of Oakleigh Road North (probably from Russell Lane downwards) may have been classed as New Southgate during those days (before the present postal district numbering system was introduced). It is referred to as Whetstone nowadays, probably because of the N20 postal district.
