134. Congregational Church, 1948. Built in 1857 to replace a single storey Chapel which dated from 1706 at which the Rev'd Isaac Watts gave oversight from 1712-1736. The Church closed in the 1960's and for a time was the Pope John Hall, a social centre for the Roman Catholics. It was finally demolished to make way for extensions to the Cheshunt Building Society

 

135. Springfield, 1948. Perhaps late 17th century, this house was reprieved from demolition and is now owned by Thames Water, Lea Division. The cottages adjoining, now converted to shops, are 19th century.

 

136. Floods in Crossbrook Street, 1920. Shops on the left include Spencer's post cad shop and the former Sub-Post Office. In the centre R. K. Trotter's piano showrooms.
