On the way to The Gate we passed where the True Lovers Knot used to be.
On leaving The Gate we turned left into Rickmansworth Road, left again into Green Lane
passing the Reindeer Public House and Northwood Station. Then we turned right into
Northwood High Street.
We took a left turn onto the Pinner Road, right at the roundabout at Northwood Hills,
along Joel Street passing ‘The Case is Altered,’ a pub which holds many memories for us.

These couple of photos were taken
with a mobile phone before the
performance started, hence the
slightly inferior quality.
According to the programme the
taking of photos was not permitted
during the service.
(Which we respected).
