Enfield Chase
Exterior of Enfield Chase on 24th April 2021. This station was opened by the GNR on 4th April 1910 with the extension of the Wood Green (now Alexandra Palace) to Enfield line to Cuffley, later extended back to the main line at Stevenage to form the Hertford North Loop in 1918. The first Enfield station on this line was a terminus at street level so, to avoid a level crossing, the extension started back from there to gain height and cross Windmill Hill on a bridge. This included a new station, the one seen here (which became Enfield Chase in 1924) just east of the original terminus that was absorbed into a goods yard. This was closed in the 1970s and today the site is covered by a vast housing estate. On the day of this photo, there were no trains to Moorgate, nor any London Overground trains to Liverpool Street from nearby Enfield Town station, so Enfield was completely reliant on buses.
