Albany School, 1939 to 2009

Albany School opened on the 8th June 1939 as a senior elementary school. It became a secondary modern after the 1944 Act. There were originally separate boys’ and girls’ departments. The school became comprehensive and fully co-educational in 1967. The establishment closed on 31st August 2009, but its legacy lives on in the memories of its alumni through Facebook groups and school reunions.

This display showcases just some of the school memorabilia in our collection.

Home Decoration and Wallpaper in Enfield: 18th to 20th century

Domestic decoration, whether in the form of ceramic tiles or decorative brickwork provides a window into the social history of the area. Before the introduction of mass-produced synthetic wall coverings homeowners in Enfield used artisan hand crafted block print wallpaper. The most elaborate and costly designs would use dozens of wood or metal blocks to build up coloured layers in a process that could take weeks. Blocks and stencils would also be used to apply glue onto which dyed wool powder was sprinkled to create ‘Flocked’ wallpaper.
