Newsletter Archive Project The Hadas newsletters have been converted into digital form as part of a permanent archive. We are now busily converting the page images into text to create a complete and searchable archive covering over 35 years of the Society's history. Church End Farm Building Record This is a record of the building history at Church End Farm. It was compiled as part of the post-excavation analysis of of an excavation (Site code CEF61) at Church End Farm Hendon in 1960s. Hendon House Excavations at Hendon School prompted research into this important house in the history of Hendon. Battle of Barnet Members of Hadas are investigating the Wars of the Roses' site of the 1471 Battle of Barnet. Over the years HADAS members and others have produced a number of publications on both the archaeology and local history of the London Borough of Barnet. Some of these publications can now be purchased at specially reduced prices. This link will take you to a list of the places HADAS has had outings to over the years, it is intended to help those who can't remember when we went to some place or another. Standard Railway Gauges An article in the HADAS Newsletter, May 2003, tells us that very old wheel tracks in Malta are a “standard” width apart, and that the distance is close to the Standard Railway Gauge. Should this be a surprise? |
