Is 'The Woodman' pub still there?

Yeah, am a big fan of SB, saw the Northern heights on it a couple of days ago.

Yep, Woodman is still there, got drunk in there, when I had my leaving do from Camden group.

Am still a bit confused where exactly Park Jct and the sidings were............does anyone know of a site with a map on (I know there's a map on the above link but I don't think it shows it)?

Park Jct was where the Alexandra Palace branch left the main Finsbury Park to Barnet line.

It's about half a mile from East Finchley along the old (surface) line to Highgate. Access is by the central platforms at E Fin.

There is a photo online on the LT Museum site that shows work being carried out on the southern tunnel portal that was rebuilt in a round shape.

I have seen a photo of a BTH Type 1 (later Class 15) at Highgate Wellington Sidings which must have been around 1961-2. These were I believe based at Hornsey (and Stratford) and fitted with tripcocks for working over LT metals.
