Links Side Enfield

A Memory of Enfield.

I was born in 1953 at home which was a prefab 23 Links Side Enfield. Situated at the bottom of Windmill Hill on the way to Oakwood with the Jolly Farmers Pub on the corner. Links Side was a very nice road mainly houses on one side and bungalows on the other. I seem to remember that the last part of the road was taken over by the Council and about 15 prefabs put up. I can remember the road was cinder, which is how I learnt to ride a bike quickly, I didn't want to fall off a second time. There was a brook at the bottom of the garden and a footpath that came to a small bridge we called the White Bridge, Fishing in Boxers Lake on a warm summer day, school at Merryhills. Life seemed so much less complicated then.
