Standard Road, ENFIELD, EN3 6DP

The railway line from Stratford to Broxbourne via Waltham Cross was opened by the Northern & Eastern Railway on 15th September 1840. Enfield Lock station was opened by the Eastern Counties Railway in 1855 as Ordnance Factory, and later renamed in 1886 to Enfield Lock. The lines through Enfield Lock were electrified on 5th May 1969. Enfield Lock was the main station for the Royal Small Arms Factory until its closure in the late 1980s, and now serves the large housing development on the site known as Enfield Island Village, as well as the nearby Innova Science and Business Park. This view is from the footbridge which carries the London LOOP over the line. The bridge a few yards ahead takes the Turkey Brook under the line. Enfield Lock station can be seen in the distance.

Just ahead it passes under the railway line to the south of Enfield Lock station. This view is from a footbridge at the end of Standard Road. The London LOOP follows the path on the left before crossing over the railway by a footbridge.
