I've just seen the photo's of Finsbury Park on the welcome page and the two commentaries about the road through the park and cycling on it.

Did you know that during the late forties and the fifties this road was a well-used cycle-racing road holding massed-start races? I raced there myself as a 17/18 year old, so have a lot of fascinating memories.
