Présentation de l'éditeur

Enfield, once noted for its 'Chase' - a hunting ground of over 8000 acres - was developed from the early 19th century into a comfortable suburb, with railway access. Charles Lamb lived there at a time when the town contained many fine houses and large private estates. To the east, industry developed along the River Lea, especially the famous Royal Small Arms factory, which supplied weaponry in two world wars. This book, in an A-Z format, provides easy access to the history of the area and its famous residents, including Boris Karloff, John Betjeman, Radclyffe Hall and General Booth.
