Government cottages, Edmonton
« on: Tuesday 01 February 22 08:42 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone know where the government cottages at Edmonton, Middlesex were please? I have an ancestor there in 1851 who was involved in gun manufacture and I wondered if the cottages were for workers at Enfield Small arms factory? Thanks :)
