Location

'm not sure about this statement! I'm sure it's within the London Borough of Barnet, but just on the outside of Branet itself. It's actually in Arkley, which is LB of Barnet. It's not Hertsmere as that borders Stirling Corner and no further.

Needs checking. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.130.208.181 (talk) 09:01, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Date (just) and length fine. AGF on hook as I can't access the online or book sources. QPQ is needed @Philafrenzy:. No close paraphrasing. Picture is fine but as this isn't about the pub, maybe best not to use it. Please let me know once the QPQ is done. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 07:16, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Good to go then. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 05:45, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, the article isn't about the pub as you say but the pub is The Gate, at Barnet Gate, and its sign is a gate. Philafrenzy (talk) 08:07, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
