Church School of Industry, Silver Street

The Enfield Church School of Industry opened in 1806 to provide a basic education for girls, mainly in domestic subjects to fit them for work as servants. It moved to this building on the corner of Silver Street and Churchbury Lane in 1876. It is now used as offices and is known as Nicon House.
This painting by "C. Stevens" was donated to the Society by Mrs M. E. Wiseman; the late Mr A. R. Wiseman was proprietor of the Enfield Gazette whose offices and printing works were in this building until 1984.
