Hi all,

According to the OS 1:25000 map, there is a stretch of undeveloped land
by
Larken drive at TQ 142 942. It is perfectly straight and runs both
sides of
Sparrows Herne (the A411). Is it connected with the abortive Northern
Line
extension? Or maybe it was a planned route for the M25?

Go to:

for the first O/S maps series.

Enter Edgware as the place name and then scroll the map down - view at 2
magnification. This shows the original line from Edgware, just follow it
along by scrolling to the right and see if it matches with your blank
spot.

If you want to enter the co-ordinates, they are given on the map as:
