Edmonton, London history

---

Edmonton Hundred was a division of the historic county of Middlesex from Saxon times. It was a district of some 31,000 acres (130 km) stretching up the west bank of the Lea from Tottenham to the county boundary south of Waltham Cross. The old highway Ermine Street passed through what is today Edmonton.

The Diverting History of John Gilpin

John Gilpin was a linen draper of Cheapside London. He was probably based on a Mr Beyer, a linen dapper of the Cheapside corner of Paternoster Row. Gilpin is remembered in Edmonton by the Gilpin’s Bell public house opposite the site of the original inn.

Industry

Eley Industrial Estate was home to many industries which included manufacturing of gas appliances, electrical components and furniture. The area is dominated by the 100 metre Edmonton Incinerator chimney which was built in 1971. Other major employers include Coca-Cola.

Railway and transport

The railway arrived in 1840 with the opening of the first section of the Lea Valley Line from Stratford to Broxbourne. The single-track line from a junction just north of Angel Road to Enfield Town opened on 1 March 1849, with an intermediate single-platform station at Lower Edmonton, located at the edge of the village green. As the station was badly sited and the trains were slow and expensive, few people used the railway in the early days, preferring the horse buses.

Contemporary Edmonton

By the 1930s the area had become a major shopping destination drawing visitors from a wide catchment area. The early post war years saw much of the area in a run down state. In recent years, Edmonton has been transformed from a predominantly white area into one of the most ethnically diverse areas in England.
