The Great Northern Railway, created
by Act of Parliament in 1844, set about
constructing the line from York to London.
The section through Hadley Wood was
the last to be delineated. Tunnels or deep
cuttings had to be dug through the ridge
of London Clay between the old and the
new courses of the River Thames and
their engineers could not agree on the
alignment. The Duchy was amenable but
the tenant at Greenwood, Thomas Paris,
son of Archibald, not only demanded an
enormous amount of compensation for the
purchase of seven acres of his lease and
loss of amenity, he also insisted on laying
a branch line to haul clay from the tunnels
up to his brickyard and to sell bricks to
build the bridges and line the tunnels.
Construction was completed in three years
and the line opened in August 1850.
Soon after Charles Jack an enterprising
farmer and developer bought Beech Hill
Park, moved in to the Mansion and took
over the leases on the Monkey Mead lots.
He farmed successfully until the late 1870s
when the price of grain was depressed by
imports from the American prairies. He
hatched a scheme to persuade the Duchy
to let him build houses on the Monkey
Mead lots and persuade the Great Northern
Railway to build a station. Negotiations took
some time as the railway wasn’t willing to
build a station until there were houses and
Jack couldn’t build
houses until there
was a station.
Jack resolved
the problem by
agreeing to pay
£4000 towards the
cost of a bridge
over the railway
at the station and
£2155 for a siding
beside it to bring in
The Making of Hadley Wood
Part 2
his construction materials. The GNR paid
contractors £3780 to build the station and
an additional £1120 for the bridge to be
extended to accommodate two additional
tracks which did not materialise for another
75 years. Jack also had to agree to pay
5% interest on the cost of the station and
£750 per year towards the operating costs
until 50 houses had been built. The station
was opened on 1st May 1885 and named
Hadley Wood rather than Beech Hill Park
and that was the name given to the new
residential settlement. The two additional
tracks were eventually constructed on the
west side of the existing lines in 1959 to
alleviate the bottleneck and required three
new tunnels to be bored. The Victorian
station with its ornamental dags was
replaced by a featureless modern one
which infuriated some residents. Steam
trains were replaced by diesels in 1963
and by electric trains running to Moorgate

instead of King’s Cross in 1976. These
trains, now nearly 40 years old, are due to
be replaced in a year or two.
In 1880 the only houses in the area
were West Lodge, Beech Hill Park
Mansion, Greenwood, Mount House
(now St Martha’s Convent school), Trent
Park and their tied cottages. Four houses
were built on the north side of Beech Hill
before 1885: St Ronan’s, Parkfield, Camlet
House and The Lothians. By 1890 fifteen
houses had been built on the south side
of Crescent East and eight houses at the
top of Crescent West. By1896 sixteen more
had been built in Crescent West with two
shops and a large house beside the railway
station that had been designed as a hotel.
By 1901 two more houses had been built in
Crescent East and ten in Lancaster Avenue
giving a total of around sixty, fulfilling
Jack’s commitment. Coombehurst on the
Cockfosters Road was built in 1906 and by
1914 four more houses appeared in Camlet
Way, four in Crescent West, and seven in
Lancaster, Longhill in Waggon Road, twelve
terrace houses in Cockfosters Road plus
Walmar, Theydon House and Beechwood
in Beech Hill. St Paul’s Church was built in
1911 to a design by Albert Kingwell who
made no charge for his services.
After the First World War plots of land
were sold along Beech Hill and Cockfoster
Road to finance the construction of the golf
club. More houses were built in Camlet Way,
Crescent West, Crescent East, Waggon
Road, around Greenwood, along the north
side of Beech Hill and from the eastern end
of Lancaster Avenue. West Lodge opened
as a hotel in 1921. New roads were set out
in Parkgate, Beech Hill Avenue, Newman’s
Way and Wood Ride. A rare Edward VIII
letterbox, which must have been erected
before his abdication in December 1936,
still stands in Waggon Road. In all about
200 houses were built between the wars
to give a total of around 300 in 1939. But
a dozen houses in the Crescent were
unoccupied because they were found to be
difficult to maintain and expensive to heat;
the gardens were long, narrow and sloping
and some had no garages. During the war
these were eagerly taken over as offices by
organisations keen to move out of London.
Charles Jack’s enthusiasm for
development steadily declined and he was
declared to be of unsound mind in 1892
and died in 1896. Although his son took
over, the estate passed into the jurisdiction
of the Court of Chancery. More houses
were built but the targets set by the Duchy
were never achieved and the lease was
terminated in 1941. Around 1900 Albert
Kingwell became the managing agent
for the Jack Estate and set up his office
and residence in the large house at No.1
Crescent West, originally intended to be a
hotel. He effectively controlled development
in Hadley Wood for the next half century,
obstructing any improvements he regarded
as undesirable, invoking the authority
of the Estate trustees or the Duchy, and
rigorously enforcing the terms of leases
and the restrictive covenants imposed by
the Duchy. Anticipating the termination
of the lease, Kingwell wrote to Enfield
Council in 1939 proposing that they should
purchase the undeveloped land on either
side of the railway and over the tunnels
from the Duchy, including the tennis courts,
for use as an open space, recreation area
or public park. The area totalled 23½ acres
including an acre by the North Tunnel which
Kingwell had bought for himself and was
prepared to donate. The Council agreedA Hadley Wood Household before the First World War

and the purchase was completed in 1944.
Not much use was made of the open
space for the next 20 years when the
Council decided to construct a sports field
in Bartrams Lane and turn four of the six
tennis courts, which had been run by the
Tennis Club since it was founded in the
1890s, into public courts. This galvanised
the local residents to action and 400 people
turned up at a meeting which resulted in the
formation of the Hadley Wood Association.
The Association Centre was built on the
site of the Tennis Club pavilion at a cost
of around £20,000 financed by grants and
contributions from local residents. It was
opened in June 1969 by Leslie Ross Collins,
the first President of the Association.
House building accelerated rapidly
after the end of the Second World War
in sharp contrast to the sluggish rate of
development around the railway station
from 1885 to 1939. Development started
again in Parkgate and Beech Hill Avenue,
Greenbrook Avenue in 1948, Duchy Road
and Kingwell Road in 1954, Broadgates
Avenue from 1957 and Covert Way
in 1958. By 1960 Courtleigh Avenue,
Claremont Road and Helena Close were
well advanced and six houses on the
west side of Crescent West. There were
now over 800 houses in Hadley Wood. St
Ronan’s was demolished and replaced by
houses in St Ronan’s Close and Camlet
Way and more houses were being built in
Lancaster Avenue. In 1963 No.1 Crescent
West was demolished to build a block of
flats and eight shops in the discordant style
of that decade, entirely out of place in the
Crescent, and three houses were built in
Bartrams Lane.
The primary school was opened in 1965
and has recently been rated ‘outstanding’
amongst many other accolades. In 1970
the old shops were demolished and
replaced by a second block of flats, two
more shops and another house in Bartrams
Lane. Greenwood, an old house built on the
site of a cottage in 1833, was demolished
in 1967 to make way for Musgrave Close.
Thereafter most development involved
demolishing large houses and building
even larger ones or several smaller ones,
and infilling in back gardens that were now
larger than most people wanted. The old
core of Victorian and Edwardian houses
around the station became a Conservation
Area in 1989. More recently gated cul-
de-sacs have appeared such as Walmar
Close, Paggitts Grove and Orchard Close,
accessible by invitation. Hadley Wood had
been transformed into a much sought after
location with few opportunities for extensive
expansion and premium prices that reflect
that.

Hadley Wood Association all continue to
thrive. The Hadley Wood and Wingate
Football Club makes good use of the
Bartrams Lane field for matches and
training sessions but the cricket club is no
more and the children’s sports day needs
organisers to get it going again. There are
fireworks in November that bring in crowds
from all around and a tug-of-war between
East and West on the neutral territory of the
railway bridge on New Year’s Day. There are
various other sporting events and periodic
dog shows. Despite the stubborn clay
there are still some enthusiastic gardeners
but many employ contractors to do their
routine work. Dogs drag their owners
around the leafy roads, the open space, the
Hadley Woods, Trent Park and footpaths
through the Green Belt, introducing them
to other dog owners at every opportunity.
The Great North Cycle Way starts at Hadley
Wood Station and heads up the railway
path to Waggon Road and on to Baldock
with plans to extend it to Grimsby. The two
pubs are long gone: the Bald Face Stag
at the bottom of Beech Hill and the Sultan
half way up Camlet Way. The Golf Club has
the only bar with regular opening times for
members but the Association Centre opens
its bar for the Tennis and Bridge Clubs and
on special occasions.
There are no industries or offices here,
just a few businesses and many self-
employed professionals operating from
home. Most of the working population
commute to London or elsewhere. Wildlife
flourishes: tits, woodpeckers and Canada
geese, muntjac deer, foxes, many squirrels
and a few surviving hedgehogs.
The unique character of Hadley Wood
has been moulded by the unrewarding clay
soil of Enfield Chase, the Green Belt that
protects its borders and the golf course
and open space that only exist because
the Jack Estate had failed to achieve its
development objectives in the first half
centuryaftertherailwaystationwasopened.
It is usually a peaceful and uneventful place
but on 5 December 1883 the police were
tipped off that a bare-knuckle prize fight
was being organised in the Hadley Woods
after dark. The fighters, referee and several
spectators were apprehended, charged
with committing a breach of the peace
and fined £5 each. Flooding stopped the
trains in 1936, something that the bombs
dropped during the Second World War
failed to do as demonstrated by the crater
on top of the North Tunnel. One Sunday

morning in December 2005 an explosion at
the Buncefield oil storage depot ten miles
away sent a black cloud over the Bartrams
Lane field, not that that deterred the
footballers. Steam trains still pass through
from time to time, smoke billowing and
whistles blaring, reminding us of the origins
of the community built around the railway.
The Hadley Wood Association needs
the support of all residents to protect and
improve the amenities in this exceptional
locality. The Rail Users Group has begun
discussions with the new train operator to

As of 7th July Hadley Wood has an
official Neighbourhood Planning Forum.
At a relatively fraught Council Committee
meeting the areas we applied for were
altered to leave out farm land on Waggon
Road and Cockfosters Road. However
both the make up of our Forum and our
planning area were approved. Many
thanks for everyone who has helped get
us to this important point.

Police support for Hadley Wood
In the light of several recent burglaries in Hadley Wood here is a reminder of some key
numbers. For emergencies dial 999 as usual. For non emergency Police matters dial 101.
Our local Safe Neighbourhood team is lead by Sergeant A. Molloy and is based in
Southgate. They can be contacted on 02087212688 (Steve Douglas) or you can email
the team at cockfosters.snt@met.police.uk
It should be remembered that our Safe Neighbourhood team does not provide an
emergency service but they are available during normal working hours. They should
be informed of any concerns you have about local criminal activity.
A new Police recommendation is the use of Smart Water. Quite often the Police recover
stolen goods but have no means of identifying ownership. Marking valuables using
Smart Water enables ownership to be established and often the thieves apprehended.

It is likely we will want to discuss house

Graham Barnett. Hadley
Postman and Marathon Man
Graham completed yet another London
marathon this summer. It was his 27th.
Fourteen of these were London marathons,
the rest in other parts of the country. His best
time was 3 hours 24 minutes. This year’s
run took 4 hours 39. Not bad statistics? Well
here is another one. I asked him how much
he has raised for charity over all the years he
has been running. ‘Not sure’ he replied. But
he raised over £3000 for Chickenshed at
this year’s run so that gives you some idea.
He asked me if, through these columns, he
could sincerely thank all those generous
residents of Hadley Wood who supported
this years fund raising.

Change of Management
at the HWA
September 1st sees the departure of Lisa
from her role as manager of the Hadley Wood
Association after more than12 years in the
post. Unaccountably she has decided that it
is time to retire from managing the finances,
organizing meetings, dealing with the Council,
arranging repairs, making sure the grounds are
being looked after, keeping the Tennis Club,
Pre-school, Dance and Bridge Clubs happy,
supervising the Hall lettings, putting on social
events and dealing with all the other myriad jobs
associated with running a Village Hall. All on a
low budget. She has coped with all this highly
efficiently and conscientiously and her charm,
tolerance and ability will be very much missed.
The only good news is that we now have a new
manager, Jaye, who took over on September 1st.
Jaye has had a great deal of experience
in administration working most recently in
a prestigious post at UCL and has a strong
background in management, finance, and
especially IT. With two small boys currently
attending the Pre school, the shorter commute
from her home in Barnet to Hadley Wood rather
than Euston, will give her more time with the family.
We wish her a warm welcome and look forward to
working together.
The HWA Committee
Ann Phillips retires as Chairman of the
Hadley RNLI group
The Hadley Ladies Guild was set up by Jean MacQueen in the
70’s with support of the RNLI as its main charitable beneficiary.
Gillian Clarke took over as Chairman in 1984 and she was followed
by Ann Phillips in 2001. After nearly 15 years in this post Ann
has finally retired. During her period of office Ann and her group
raised approximately £6000 a year for the RNLI, an incredible
achievement for a small group of local ladies, their generosity
and a testament to her leadership and organizational abilities. In
recognition of her leadership Ann received the RNLI Gold Badge
but typically she insists that this was for the whole team and not
just for her.
The next coffee morning with its usual stalls will be on the 28th
October at the Hadley Memorial Hall from 10-30 to 12.00 noon. It
will be Ann’s last meeting as Chairman. She and her team hope
a new Chairman will soon come forward and continue Hadley’s
support for the RNLI.

Dear Editor
Having lived here in Hadley Wood since 1983
we have seen many changes.
The Hadley Wood newsletter used to
be most informative regarding issues
surrounding security and carried a column
written by our local bobby PC Baldock
(long retired). We now have various roads
covered by the patrol car (but not all) and
we only get information about burglaries on
the grapevine. I think this would be so much
better if covered by the HWN.
My husband John told me that there is a
reward for a recent burglary in Orchard Close
(next to us). Notices were put on lampposts
and trees and it has also come to our notice
that there have been some aggravated
burglaries (most worrying of all!). Please
would you consider having a column about
Dear Editor
As August comes to a close Hadley
and Cockfosters residents have rising
concerns over Enfield Council’s policy
towards allowing very large commercial
events in Trent Park. Recent festivals have
flooded the neighbourhood with thousands
of weekend visitors, and their cars have
added to congestion on the narrow roads
in our suburb. From correspondence to
the Council and Friends of Trent Park it is
clear that this change of use for Trent Park
is unwelcome and intimidating to many.
Questions have been voiced over what gain
there is for our area, and our Park, but to date
Enfield Council has nothing to announce.
Although the Park has not been
closed during the setting up and knock
down phases of these events, the level of
activity generated over several days has
resulted in far fewer residents using the
Park. Cafe takings are down and visitors to
the animal rescue centre have dropped. It
is clear that the level of activity has deterred
residents and raised resentment in that the
very nature of these events has nothing to
offer residents.
The Friends of Trent Country Park are
calling on the Council to rationalise permitted
activities in the park, return Trent Park to its
original character as a refuge for residents

and their families, and demonstrate good
stewardship by ceasing from introducing
unsuitable commercial activities on an
unsustainable scale to a much valued public
asset.

security in the HWN as this would be most
important for residents?
I also think that it would be a good idea to
do a mail-out (via the road reps if they still
exist) regarding the on-line edition. If this is
not possible then perhaps a notice at the
tennis club, church, playgroup, or the shops
might draw attention to the website.
Kind regards.

Thanks Elana. We have included a short
update on useful police phone numbers
in this issue and will arrange to talk to the
Police and the Private Security team about
liaison and the possibility of a regular report.
The website is not doing too badly. Recent
stats from our website manager George Mc
Cormick show:
1 Month: Unique visitors = 973
Page views (each visitor may visit many
pages) = 3,800
6 Months: Unique visitors = 4,900 Page
views = 20,600
1 year: Unique visitors = 16,100 Page views
= 46,900. Overall we get between 100 and
300 page views a day.
Looks fairly good but you are right, we should
look at ways of increasing its activity.
Ed.
