 Clifton Arms public house.
This pub (later renamed the Iron Bridge and the Olde Northwood) has lain unoccupied since the early part of 2016 and appears to be on the market.
It had a very poor reputation for very many years and most locals gave it a wide berth. Latterly hosting 'exotic dancers', it was completely out of place with its surroundings. Its passing will probably go unmourned. However, the building is an attractive Victorian red brick structure typical of its era and it would be nice if it was preserved for an alternative use. |

The temporary track appears to cross the Pinner Road and go well inside the Acre Way construction site, with tramways running off it. |

This shows the Rickmansworth Road taken from Northwood Hills Circus looking west. The railway bridge was the original which was replaced by the current Iron Bridge when the Metropolitan line was widened to 4 tracks in the early 1960's is beleive At the very bottom of the photo is the Cottage Hospital |

The cottage hospital isn't built yet, the building at the bottom is Hundred Acres Farm. The main road is Pinner Road as far as the High Street, and only becomes Rickmansworth Road beyond there. |

According to the Wiki entry, Northwood & Pinner Cottage Hospital was opened by Lloyd-George's wife in 1920 as a war memorial. This is patently not the case, as the field in which the hospital was sited is empty and undeveloped, without even any signs of preliminary groundworks. |
