Wooden buildings, Enfield Town
Old wooden clapboard buildings in the centre of Enfield Town. The road used to run along here, but this area has now been pedestrianised giving a bigger walkway. The wooden building on the corner was a carpet shop for a long time, then a Woolwich Building Society. It is now a money shop. William Hill is in the smaller building next door. However, it is obvious that originally these buildings were houses. The building with the inverted v shapes is the George public houses, how called the Goose at the George. On the corner, the tall building is the NatWest Bank, originally a branch of Westminster Bank.

London Road, Enfield
This parade of shops in London Road looks as though it was formerly a departmental store, although now there are many different unrelated shops there, including a bank, employment agency, etc.
At one time Pearsons had a store in this building selling beds and furniture before the main store was extended, and before that I believe it was a Co-op. If I am wrong, hopefully someone will correct the mistake.
