St James’s Church was built as a chapel of ease in 1831 on ground south of Green Street given by Woodham Connop (Lord of Durants and Suffolks Manors). The church is a plain-aisled building of stock brick, in 'Commissioners’ Gothic', with a western tower and battlemented exterior. The chancel in the Early English style was added in 1864. There were galleries round three sides of the nave by the end of the 19th century. The north and south galleries had been removed by 1967, when a fire seriously damaged the east end of the church. It was restored in 1969. For more about the church and parish see http://www.stjameschurch.cc/parish/ The church has a large churchyard and to the east, as an extension, is Hertford Road Cemetery. The land for the cemetery was acquired by the Enfield Burial Board in about 1880 and the cemetery was developed as a separate entity from the adjacent churchyard. The Burial Board was wound up in the 1920s. This view of the church is from the churchyard.

The line from Edmonton via Lower Edmonton to the centre of Enfield opened on 1st March 1849. The line from Bury Street Junction, north of Edmonton Green, to Cheshunt was opened by the Great Eastern Railway on 1st October 1891 and this is the line seen here. When it was opened the line was known as the Churchbury Loop. The district was still predominantly rural, and the coming of the tram to Waltham Cross in 1904 saw the railway unable to compete. Passenger services ceased on 1st October 1909, but were reinstated for munitions workers between 1st March 1915 and 1st July 1919. After that the line was used only by goods trains until electrified as part of a wider scheme at the start of the 1960s. The line is now known as the Southbury Loop. On 31st May 2015 all services here became part of the London Overground network. This is the view from Brick Lane bridge. The next station in this direction is Southbury.
