' I think that this must be Reets Farm. Until I looked closely at this photograph, I thought that the Hendon Isolation Hospital, which first appears on the 1935 O.S. map, had been built on the site of Reets Farm, which is shown on the 1920 edition of the O.S. 6" map, but is gone by 1935. So, Reets Farm was still here in 1929, but losing its land to development by Hendon U.D.C., and soon to disappear! Luckily I have one view of it (courtesy of Barnet Archives), a postcard from the early 1900's, looking towards West Hendon and the Welsh Harp Reservoir which I can share with you. '
