North and South – London<\/strong>: In May 1994 I was mainly photographing around Enfield, the most northerly of London Boroughs, but in the middle of one film there are a few pictures from Morden, the southern end of the Northern Line. I can’t remember why I made the trip there, possibly on a visit to a friends or perhaps on a family outing to Morden Park on the River Wandle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Chimes,<\/a>\n<\/div>
Chimes, pub, 510, Hertford Road, Enfield Wash, Enfield, 1994, 94-05-1-26<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This pub or club seems to have had an unusually large number of changes over the years and was also at various times Club X Zone’, Bar FM’, ‘Bell’, ‘Hotshots’, ‘Texas Cantina’, and more. Now a restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Shop<\/a>\n<\/div>
Shop Window, Bush Hill Park, Enfield, 1994, 94-52-61<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A strange assortment of clothing on some rather odd two dimensional figures of women with holds in their heads and a line of children’s toys at the bottom of the window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"The<\/a>\n<\/div>
The Flower Box, Bush Hill Park, Enfield, 1994, 94-52-62<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A colourful building though I was sad that parts of the mural below the windows was was obscured by almost empty display stands, one made from milk crates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A small section of the mural from the previous picture shows a wedding couple striding across the fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Shops,<\/a>\n<\/div>
Shops, London Rd, Morden, Merton, 1994, 94-52-44<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A fairly typical suburban shopping street with a Boots, Abbey National, Holland & Barrett and at right ‘A NEW FORCE ON THE HIGH STREET’ which I’ve never heard of. The sun is clearly shining but there are ominous clouds above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Merton<\/a>\n<\/div>
Merton Civic Centre, London Rd, Morden, Merton, 1994, 94-52-46<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These buildings are still there on the corner of London Road and Crown Lane close to Morden Underground Station and are still Merton’s Civic Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Civic centre is in a triangle of land surrounded by busy roads. This view seems now largely unchanged except for the names of the shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Morden<\/a>\n<\/div>
Morden Court Parade, London Rd, Morden, Merton, 1994, 94-52-34<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Morden Court Parade is still there a little to the south on London Road from the Civic Centre and looks in rather better condition now. But sadly those 1930s windows have been replaced by fatter plastic double glazing which although greatly more comfortable for the residents both for keeping warm and reducing traffic noise from busy A24 dual carriageway rather spoil the appearance of the building. There are also some new balconies which fit in fairly well with the building and although it has lost than ‘MORDEN COURT PARADE’ from the frontage it has been replaced rather larger on the roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back to North London in my next post from 1994.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
