===Mill Hill Village=== [[File:Triangular Junction by The Old Forge - geograph.org.uk - 1750231.jpg|thumb|Triangular junction by The Old Forge in Highwood Hill]] The village is a ribbon development along The Ridgeway. It has [[green belt]] in either side. "Partingdale" and "Burtonhole" form a valley north of The Ridgeway. North is Folly Farm and [[Folly Brook]], a tributary of the [[Dollis Brook]], running west to east. Between The Ridgeway and Folly Brook are Burtonhole Farm, a garden centre called Finchley Nurseries, and several sports grounds. The [[National Institute for Medical Research]], a landmark building, was demolished in 2018 and the site is being developed for new houses and apartments. On 1 April 2015, the NIMR became part of the new [[Francis Crick Institute]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.crick.ac.uk/news/press-releases/a-new-name-for-ukcmri|title=A new name for UKCMRI|date=25 May 2011|work=crick.ac.uk|publisher=The Francis Crick Institute|access-date=3 November 2011}}</ref> and ceased to exist as a separate MRC institute. The site was fully vacated and closed for redevelopment in 2017. [[Arrandene Open Space and Featherstone Hill]] is a large open space which is bordered by Wise Lane, Wills Grove, Milespit Hill and The Ridgeway. While there are many open spaces in the area, Arrandene is unique because of its many open fields, meadows and woodland. The open fields were originally hay meadows which provided feed for the horses pulling carriages north to Barnet and beyond. On Milespit Hill is the non-denominational [[Mill Hill Cemetery]], formerly known as "[[Metropolitan Borough of Paddington|Paddington]] New Cemetery". The 1960s pop singer [[Billy Fury]] (Ronald Wycherley, 1940β83) is buried there. The cemetery also has two [[Commonwealth War Graves Commission]] sections of [[World War II|Second World War]] graves. One has the graves of 53 United Kingdom personnel, and has a [[Cross of Sacrifice]]. The other has the graves of 254 [[Netherlands in World War II|Dutch]] personnel, 212 of whom were [[merchant navy]]. Many were originally buried elsewhere in the UK, but were reburied here as a Dutch "Field of Honour". Southwest of Mill Hill Village is a small suburb called "Poets' Corner", and to the north an old estate, now a nature reserve, [[Moat Mount Open Space and Mote End Farm|Moat Mount Open Space]].
