More about this scene
Close to the northern end of London Road, the market place and the parish church, the weatherboarded Ebben Steam Bakery, now departed, contributes to the market town feel of the photograph. Although it is as well-designed as a high rise building can be in a small-scale setting, the twelve-storey Civic Centre lurks menacingly just round the corner in Silver Street.

A Selection of Memories from Enfield
For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Enfield
Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I went to Kingsmead Secondary School 1996-2001. It was exhilarating exploring the locked up ruins of the old outdoor pool next to our school. I loved imagining the fun and memories of past customers and wished we'd been able to experience it in its glory days. It was disintegrating and dangerous and we were young and stupid. The reconstruction of my imagined accident airing on the old programme 999 kept me out in later years, before it was torn down and replaced by restaurant car park.
I'm actually asking if anyone has any Memories , or knows of any stories about the Crown and Horseshoes in the 1930s . I'm writing the 'story' of our Family History and would love to hear anything at all about The Crown and Horseshoes during this time . If anyone knows anything about the old lady thought to Haunt the Pub , that would be wonderful too !
Thank you,
Sally
