Yesterday, I took a trip up to breezy north London to see the mighty Dulwich Hamlet FC secure a point against Enfield Town.
I took time out to wander around the town after the game and grabbed this small collection of photos:
The very red stairway up to the Enfield platform at Seven Sisters.
The enticing-sounding “Krayzee Burger & Chicken Company.”
If you need a bed in north London, Vic Smith is yer man.
Shopping trolley and wood.
Former Enfield Electricity Works, now Grade II listed.
Built in 1906 and constructed from red brick with extensive buff terra cotta dressings and a slate roof, the building has been lying empty for years.
Danger of death.
Home made sign.
Suburbia.
Playing fields adjacent to Enfield Town’s stadium.
Winter trees.
Spring!
This looks like a contestant from Robot Wars.
The New River.
Town centre.
Old water pump detail.
Shop window turtle.
They like to shop early in Enfield. Or very late.
Splendid late Victorian bank architecture.
This Barclays Bank branch was the first place in the world to have an ATM or cash machine. It was officially opened in June 1967 by Reg Varney, a television actor and personality most famous for his lead role in the comedy series On the Buses. This historical event was marked by a silver plaque on the wall of the bank, which has since been vandalised/removed and replaced with an English Heritage Blue plaque. Read more here.
Grade II listed Old Vestry building, Enfield.
A barrel half way up a house with a (non working) clock.
Another non working clock.
Enfield vicarage.
Church School of Industry.
Groovy 1970s typeface.
Georgian splendour.
Humongous, town-dwarfing modern development by the station.

It would be interesting to know if “The George” is real or fake Tudor, although it’s probably fake. It looks a lot like the pub by Clapham Common tube.
There are photos of the ‘George’ in 1890s on this site – http://www.enfieldsociety.org.uk/photographs/thumbnails.php?album=12&page=3 – and it’s fairly obviously a different building.
I’d estimate the current one is 1920s – as a general rule, with ‘timbered’ buildings, if the timbering is very neat and even, then it’s usually fake…
I should visit Enfield, never been there but could be great for street photography!
four public phone boxes in a row? Are they for sale?
