The 'Crown and Horseshoes' pub stands on the bank of the New River, close to Chase Side. This Grade II listed public house dates back to before 1716 and due to its proximity to the river has historically been popular with fishermen, ramblers and locals alike. The inn has been associated with two grisly murders, one of the landlord, John Draper, in 1816, and the other of a sailor, Danby, in the early 1800s. The later was mentioned by Charles Lamb, the distinguished essayist, who lived in Enfield and frequented the pub during this time.
