My abiding memory was of the outside communal toilets with a trough at the base of a wall which used to back on to the pavement of Aldborough Rd. We would compete to see who could reach the highest up the wall (if you... [more]

Enfield - A History & Celebration
The Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and St George in London Road, originally built in 1901, suffered major damage in the war - it was virtually demolished by a landmine. The site was cleared, and eventually a new church was built in 1956 in a style that would not look out of place in a new town. St Paul's, New Southgate was repaired, and Ponders... [more]
