Newlands, Barnet
An upmarket enclave in north-west Edgware, squeezed between the A5 and the A41 near the foot of Brockley Hill
Pipers Green Lane, beside Edgwarebury golf course
The locality’s name may refer to land newly brought into agricultural use, perhaps in the early 16th century.
Newlands consists of just a handful of residential streets, accessed from Brockley Hill. Along and off Pipers Green Lane some of the newer properties boast distinctive designs and substantial proportions, and one group shows satisfying use of weatherboarding. The lane continues as a wooded footpath beside Edgwarebury golf course. The surrounding open land belongs to All Souls College, Oxford – as it has done for centuries.
Roman cremation burials were found in 1953 at Pipers Green Lane.
