High Road, New Southgate

View looking down the southern end of the High Road, towards the gas works and North Circular Road. This terrace of houses originally had small front gardens, which were removed to allow road widening for the introduction of trams in 1907. Albert Street is at the far end of the terrace, with the maintenance building of the gas works on the corner. The gas holder still exists, but is no longer in use. (Colin Barratt Collection)
