A hidden gem brought back to life....
A stone-carved memorial which commemorates the opening of Broomfield Park to the public nearly 100 years ago has been restored.
Pupils from Hazelwood and Broomfield schools joined Friends of Broomfield Park, Heritage London Fund, Councillors, MP Bambos Charalambous and the Enfield Society marking the restoration of the plaque commemorating the creation of Broomfield Park.
After decades of neglect, the memorial which sits close to the main entrance to the park, has been cleaned and the lettering has been recut by conservation specialists.
Initiated by the Broomfield House Trust, the restoration was funded by the Heritage of London Trust, the Enfield Society, and the Friends of Broomfield Park.
Enfield Council’s Deputy Leader, Cllr Ian Barnes, said: “This has been a very worthy, collaborative effort between volunteers, historical experts and artisans with one aim – to protect and enhance an important piece of Enfield history.”
