Chase Road, Southgate, at its junction with Bramley Road, at this time an area of open grass and woodland with no visible housing. A sign at the intersection announces that this is a proposed Underground station site on the Piccadilly Southgate extension, funded by the Development Act of 1929 for the relief of unemployment. Three names are suggested -Oakwood, Merryhills and East Barnet, with an invitation for locals to choose their preferred name (it was opened in 1933 as Enfield West, and later changed to Oakwood).
