Station Road Station Road and Hale Lane have existed since 1597. Station Road officially changed its name from Church Lane early in 1931.

Colney Hatch is the name for the area of Friern Barnet which surrounds the old town hall. By 1234 parts of the area belonged to a manor called Halliwick, but the manor house wasn't built until around 1602. Colney Hatch was dominated by Hollick Wood, which was 160 acres in the 1650s (ten times larger than our Coppetts Wood). It neighboured another large wood to the south called Tottenham Wood.

The name East Barnet was in use by 1294, probably so that people would not confuse it with Chipping Barnet further north. The settlement grew up around the crossing of Pymmes Brook. There was a bridge known as Katebrygge in 1406, which no doubt gave its name both to Cat Hill and the later Cat Inn. (The Cat Inn existed from the 18th century until 1955 when it burned down).
