    © Georgina Green ~ Epping Forest though the Ages Epping Forest Preface On 6th May 1882 Queen Victoria visited High Beach where she declared through the Ages "it gives me the greatest satisfaction to dedicate this beautiful Forest to the use and enjoyment of my people for all time" . This royal visit was greeted with great enthusiasm by the thousands of people who came to see their by Queen when she passed by, as their forefathers had done for other sovereigns down through the ages . Georgina Green My purpose in writing this little book is to tell how the ordinary people have used Epping Fo rest in the past, but came to enjoy it only in more recent times. I hope to give the reader a glimpse of what life was like for those who have lived here throughout the ages and how, by using the Forest, they have physically changed it over the centuries. The Romans, Saxons and Normans have each played their part, while the Forest we know today is one of the few surviving examples of Medieval woodland management. The Tudor monarchs and their courtiers frequently visited the Forest, wh ile in the 18th century the grandeur of Wanstead House attracted sight-seers from far and wide. The common people, meanwhile, were mostly poor farm labourers who were glad of the free produce they could obtain from the Forest. None of the Forest ponds are natural . some of them having been made accidentally when sand and gravel were extracted . while others were made by Man for a variety of reasons.

  • Winchmore Hill
    Enfield Society News No. 194, Summer 2014 Enfield’s ‘mini-Holland’ project: for and against In our last issue we discussed some of the proposals in Enfield Council’s bid under the London Mayor’s “mini-Holland” scheme to make the borough more cycle-friendly. On 10th March the Mayor announced that Enfield was one of three boroughs whose bids had been selected and that we would receive up to £30 million to implement the project. This provides a great opportunity to make extensive changes and improvements which will affect everyone who uses our streets and town centres, but there is not unanimous agreement that the present proposals are the best way of spending this money. The Council has promised extensive consultations before the proposals are developed to a detailed design stage, but it is not clear whether there are conditions attached to the funds which would prevent significant departures from the proposals in the bid. The Enfield Society thinks that it would be premature to express a definitive view until the options have been fully explored, but we are keen to participate in the consultation process, in accordance with the aim in our constitution to “ensure that new developments are environmentally sound, well designed and take account of the relevant interests of all sections of the community”. We have therefore asked two of our members to write columns for and against the current proposals, in order to stimulate discussion. A third column, from the Enfield Town Conservation Area Study Group, suggests a more visionary transformation of Enfield Town. Yes to mini-Holland! Doubts about mini- Let’s start with the people of Enfield.

    MUNICIPAL YEAR 2011/2012 REPORT NO. ACTION TO BE TAKEN UNDER Agenda – Part: 1 KD Num: NA DELEGATED AUTHORITY Subject: Enfield Greenways - Proposed Path through PORTFOLIO DECISION OF: Hilly Fields Park Cabinet Member for Environment REPORT OF: Wards: Chase Director - Environment Contact officer and telephone number: Jonathan Goodson 020 8379 3474 Email: [email protected] 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 This report presents proposals to provide new or upgraded paths in Hilly Fields Park to create an east-west route through the parkland. This would be a shared facility for pedestrians, cyclists and wheelchair users. The drawing in Appendix A shows the route proposed during the consultation exercise. 1.2 The Forty Hall section forms part of a wider route between Hadley Wood and Enfield Island Village. The drawing in Appendix B shows the full route as currently proposed. The section between the A10 and Enfield Island Village is largely complete. 1.3 Minor highway improvements to aid crossing movements of Clay Hill near the Rose & Crown public house are also proposed. 1.4 The cost of implementing this facility is estimated to be £200,000. This is being met by the Corridors, Neighbourhoods and Supporting Measures 2012/13 budget. 2.
