Has Finchley Central station been relocated
from the Station Close area?

Station Close is a small road off Station Road in Finchley. Its angle is
reminescent of station approach roads across the country, but it is not
particularly near the station. This makes me think that the station
used to
be here, but has been moved to its current site.

Did the station's name change when it was relocated?

Was the old station called "Finchley" and did it acquire the name
"Central"
when it was moved?

No, the station has always been in the same place. Station Close is not
shown on the 1895 O/S map, so I'm not sure when it was added. I assume
it's called station Close because it's off Station Road. In 1895, Station
Road was the only road running parallel to the railway line, and there
were no buildings shown on the railway side of the road. There is
nothing on that map that looks as if it could have been anything that
later became Station Close. There is a foot exit from the Bridge at
Finchley to Station Road, and this is also shown on the 1895 map.
