The Pub’s History

The Rose & Crown public house is situated in an area initially known as the ‘Bridge Street’ hamlet. It is one of the very oldest inns found in Enfield, situated at the hollow between Whitewebbs Park and Hilly Fields.

The Rose & Crown has an interesting history as it was once owned by Mr Knott, who was the grandfather of Dick Turpin, one of England’s most notorious Highwaymen. On the front wall of the Rose & Crown, between the second window from the bridge and the original doorway, there is an iron ring where it is quite possible Dick Turpin would tie up his horse ‘Black Bess’.

The righthand side of the Rose & Crown was added sometime in the late 19th century, in the pre-and post-war era. This addition was used as a Greengrocers shop and was a welcome addition for the local children wishing to buy sweets and ice creams.
