BARNET aka CHIPPING BARNET- HIGH BARNET - An old Engraving showing an 18th century game of football (soccer) being played in the market place of Barnet town (now a London borough). Buildings in the scene include the Post Office (same building as the Red Lion Inn) and the Mitre Inn (right) . A third inn sign can be seen in the building behind the mitre sign served as the Market Hall but burnt down in 1888. Landlord's names on the inn signs are indistinct but appear to be Connor (Mitre) and Wm Broughton (Red Lion).
