Claigmar Vineyard, Finchley (1921) Remembered in a few local street names such as Vines Avenue, the Claigmar Vineyards were begun by the Kay family in 1874. They not only produced 100 tons of grapes per year but also a quarter of a million cucumbers. During the 1920s, the vineyard was finally built over.

Cobley’s Farm - 19th century watercolour Cobley’s Farm, also known as Fallow Farm, stood near to the "elbow" of Bow Lane. The area of Fallow Corner and of Cobley’s Farm was first recorded in 1429. By the 18th century there was a small hamlet of houses and the access roads from these to the main road formed the distinct Bow Lane. The route of the road was originally part of a lengthy track leading across from Muswell Hill through Coldfall Wood to the northern portion of Church End. Bow Lane, which was named for its shape, was constructed in 1814 after the enclosure of Finchley Common.
