Newsletter
January – February
The latest issue of our Newsletter is filled with stories and information, including:
- The links between America and Hawthorn Dene, the Grade II listed building, built in 1825 by James Frost, who later emigrated to the United States
- Two recent – and very popular – walks through Finchley Church End town centre organized by the Society.
- One of the points of interest on the two walks was the Newton Wright factory gates at 68 Ballards Lane. Newton Wright Ltd can be traced back to J. Newton, a company making scientific instruments established in 1704 by a relative of Sir Isaac.
Members of the Society also recall their memories of Bobby Wilson, the great tennis player who lived in Finchley for most of his life
