EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the essence of a significant moment in Enfield's history, this print showcases the sale of Parkside House in Hadley Wood under the Government's right to buy scheme. Taken on the 16th of December 1986, it portrays a pivotal shift towards privatization and individual ownership within social housing. The image depicts an elegant detached council house nestled amidst a picturesque neighborhood. Its exterior exudes charm and character, symbolizing both comfort and aspiration. A sleek Volvo parked outside adds a touch of sophistication to the scene, reflecting the changing times and aspirations of homeownership. Enfield Council's decision to sell this property for £250,000 - after applying the customary £20,000 discount - marks an important milestone in housing policy during that era. The buyer is revealed as a former GLC land agent, highlighting how individuals with expertise in real estate were seizing opportunities presented by these new policies. Julian Brown skillfully captures this transformative moment through his lens, preserving it for future generations to reflect upon. This photograph not only serves as a visual reminder of Enfield's journey towards privatization but also evokes nostalgia for an era when social housing was transitioning into personal assets. As we delve into this remarkable piece from Memory Lane Prints collection, let us appreciate its historical significance while contemplating how such changes have shaped our present-day understanding of home ownership.
