A revised Local Heritage List has been published by Enfield Council, containing 48 new entries with special local interest.
The Local Heritage List was updated in partnership with the Enfield Society with more than 40 volunteers reviewing the existing entries and identifying candidates to be added.
In particular, volunteers were asked to identify aspects of the borough’s heritage that were less well represented on the 2018 List including heritage to the east of the borough; industrial heritage; war-time heritage; heritage of communities who have settled in the borough since the end of the 19th century and, art/sculpture.
New entries include, the Slades Hill gun emplacement, North Middlesex University Hospital Administration Building, Two Brewers Pub Memorial Garden, Gilpins Bell and a section of the New River Loop.
The Local Heritage List, which was last updated in 2018, identifies the significance of buildings, structures and sites in the borough and ensures they are considered when planning applications are submitted.
Enfield Council’s Leader, Cllr Ergin Erbil said: “The updated Local Heritage List is a fantastic showcase of the diverse buildings and spaces our borough has to offer. The list recognises our rich heritage, diverse history and the communities surrounding them. I’d like to thank in particular the volunteers who have helped collate the list and everyone who participated in the survey for this important update. We now have a Local Heritage List that truly reflects the whole borough. I would encourage everyone to take look and visit the new additions.”
The decision on whether to include an asset in the Local Heritage List was made by Enfield Council, based on the recommendations of a Review Panel.
The Review Panel comprised Planning and Heritage Officers from Enfield Council, members of the Enfield Society and other local conservation bodies as well as a representative of Historic England.

The Enfield Society John West (Trustee) said: “The Enfield Society works with a wide range of organisations and the Council to support the conservation and enhancement of the civic and natural environments throughout the London Borough of Enfield. Working with over 40 volunteers, the Society is delighted to have contributed to the revised Local Heritage List which will help ensure that the heritage that our communities enjoy is recognised and valued. The updated Local Heritage List will help to secure the future of local heritage sites and buildings and demonstrates what can be achieved when volunteers and groups work in partnership with a local planning authority.”
