The growth of both areas was first stimulated by the Great North Road. With many passing coaches it brought prosperity to the inns and greater rewards to the highwaymen. Even before the railway a great many villas were built in this mainy agricultural district. This perceptive history takes the reader through its history, including Friern Barnet and Totteridge.
