Glimpse history through old images of Enfield, in north London.
Female Steeplejack 1948
In 1948, John Eserin, manager of the Enfield firm of E. & B.B. (Steeplejacks) Ltd welcomed the company’s first female steeplejack.
For those of us scared of heights, this is not easy to watch! The lack of safety equipment is just frightening.
