  • Broomfield House - public consultation begins - posted by Colin Younger

    24 Nov 2023 Ah, if only! One of the sad things about the history of Broomfield House since the 1984 fire is just how many similar, positive, schemes, have been proposed.

However, the stableblock, though not in the commanding[…]

  • New owners not looking after the family silver - posted by Neil Littman

    23 Nov 2023 Hi, Thanks for the post.  A bit of trivia, I think that Enfield has more surviving Edward VIII postboxes than anywhere else in the UK. About seven or eight in total.
