Answer 1

The Alexandra, New Barnet

The Alexandra was a pub at 133 East Barnet Road, New Barnet, London, dating from the mid nineteenth century that was demolished in 2015. It was on the corner with Victoria Road. The site is to be used for housing.

The pub was formerly known as the Alexandra Tavern and appears in newspapers under that name as early as 1869. It was probably built during the development of the area after the opening of nearby New Barnet railway station in 1850.

In October 1871, the landlord changed from Mr Hocking to Walter Capon.

In February 1881, the landlord, Mr Decamps, was burned when, having detected a strong smell of gas, he went searching for the source of the leak with a lighted candle. His daughter Miss Decamps was "slightly scorched".

In 1905, the pub was run by the Barnet Brewery.

The Alexandra closed in 2013. In 2014, the Save New Barnet Campaign reported that the site owner, Optic Realm, had applied to demolish the pub and replace it with 15 apartments. The pub was demolished in October or November 2015.

The 15 flats were completed in February 2017.

The Green Man (public house)

The Green Man was a public house at 1308 High Road, Whetstone, north London, that dated from the 15th century. It closed in the later 20th century and is now a motor repair business.

An inn belonged to the Heybourne family is thought to have existed on the site as early as 1400. It was known as The Lion when it was sold by John Doggett to Thomas Copewood in 1485. It may later have been known as The Red Lion. It subsequently became The Green Man. The pub was located on the High Road, originally part of the Great North Road, the principal route out of London to Scotland since medieval times, and popular with drovers. At one time it had a large pond and 8 acres of grazing at the rear. The pub was closed by 1980 and is now a motor repair business.

The pub was rebuilt in 1740 and refronted in 1830. The current building, which at the front is the pub's former stables, dates from 1890 when it was again rebuilt.

Answer 3

Mitre Inn, Chipping Barnet

The Mitre Inn is a public house at 58 High Street, Chipping Barnet, London. It was established by 1633 and is probably the oldest remaining of the town's once numerous coaching inns. It is a grade II listed building with Historic England and is currently styled "Ye Olde Mitre Inne".

The development of Chipping Barnet after the Middle Ages is attributable to the granting of a charter for a cattle and horse market by Queen Elizabeth I in 1588, after which Barnet Fair came to dominate the meat trade in London, and the town's position on the Great North Road, of which its High Street forms a part. The town became so famous for its coaching inns that it acquired the nickname of the "Town of Inns".

In 1633, there were three inns adjacent to each other on the east side of the High Street: the Rose (kept by Robert Briscoe), the Crown, and a wine tavern known as the Man. In 1663, they joined to become the Man and Rose and Crown. In 1667, the inn became The Rose and Crown and Mitre, and simply the Mitre soon after. The Mitre primarily catered for the large number of stage coaches that passed through Chipping Barnet each day and a War Office survey of 1756 reported that it could provide 12 beds and stabling for 26 horses.

The name "Mitre" has traditionally been used to suggest affinity with the established church and the Mitre Inn is overlooked by Chipping Barnet's St John the Baptist Church (1560) in the diocese of Diocese of St Albans. Vestry accounts record that in 1720 ten shillings was spent at the Mitre entertaining the Archdeacon of St Albans plus sixpence for a new chamberpot.
