Take a trip around the area with these picture from the past and present.  
If any of you have photos to add to the site
please call me and perhaps we can build a concise picture of Barnet's past.

You can get many books with pictures of old Barnet (especially from the Barnet Museum) but we have put this page together to build up an archive of old photos which can be viewed from the comfort of your home. So settle back and take a journey into the past of our town of Barnet.

Perhaps the most dominating thing in Barnet is the church of St John the Baptist, which we all know as Barnet Church (here will go a brief history of the church) Over the years there have been many photographic pictures of the church at the top of the hill and this is a selection.

      

Early pictures of the church.

       

There has always been a bottleneck here

Barnet High street has been a busy thoroughfare for centuries and these pictures show a few of the changes.
