TRIAL WEBSITE: History

We have put together this part of the website to help further understand the breadth of history in our town.  We’d love you to explore it, check it, question it, and tell us what’s missing. You can email us at history@lovebarnet.co.uk

“High Barnet’s iconic street furniture includes a granite cattle trough just across the road from the Black Horse public house” (Source: Barnet Society). “Granite cattle trough on pedestal supports at each end with a single bell-profiled finial at one end. Erected by the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain & Cattle Trough Association. The ironwork for the drinking fountain has been removed. Of social interest and it is now a flower trough.” (Source: Barnet Local List 2020)
