English: High Road, North Finchley Shops, building societies become banks and fast food, the story of many high streets around the country. The grey modern building on the extreme left was built on the site of Prior's department store. Prior's had moved to a new location at the junction of Castle Street and High Road. The two imposing buildings occupied by an O'Neills pub and Abbey Bank were respectively a furniture store JAC Woodhouse and Burtons the Tailor both built around 1936. The imposing tall windows at the front of what was Burtons was common to all Burton shops as they all had a billiard room above the shop - hence the need for good daylight! The rest of the parade of shops predate 1905.
