TUM image id: 1603121810 Licence:	Decoy Farm on the Hendon/Temple Fortune boundary was painted circa 1890 by Louise Surrey. The farmhouse was an 18th-century building, which took its name from a nearby pond used as a duck decoy. The farmland was destroyed with the building of the North Circular Road in 1925. The building was demolished in 1935. A bricked-up window in the painting indicates an attempt to reduce window taxes paid on a residence introduced in the 18th century.
