Enfield Lock history

Enfield Lock History photo

Enfield Island Village was first developed from about 1812 when a government-owned rifle factory, which was later known as the Royal Small Arms Factory, Enfield, was built. The factory was built towards the end of the Napoleonic War on marshland at Enfield Lock on the banks of both the River Lea and the River Lee Navigation. The RSAF was closed in the late 1980s, shortly after privatisation, and the majority of the former site has now been redeveloped into a large housing development.

Enfield Lock etymology

Enfield Lock is recorded as Norhtlok (1355), The Locke (1657), i.e. ‘the (northern) lock or river barrier (near Enfield)’, from Middle English lok.
