The Southgate Green Association is an organisation dedicated to preserving and enhancing the Southgate Green Conservation Area. Southgate Green was designated a Conservation Area in 1968. It covers approximately 31 hectares, with over 30 listed buildings and structures, radiating northwards along the High Street, westwards down Waterfall Road and southwards along Cannon Hill until the junction with Alderman’s Hill. The buildings and spaces along these roads form a village envelope which has a special character and appearance described in the Conservation area character appraisal.
The focal point of the Conservation Area is The Green itself, a public open space with trees, footpaths and historical structures. The buildings surrounding the Green present visually the best of Georgian, Edwardian and Interwar architecture and this pleasant environment is one that the Association works towards preserving for future generations.
Who we are
The Southgate Green Association, formed in 2000, is dedicated to preserving and enhancing the Southgate Green Conservation Area. The Association promotes the preservation of the historical and special features of this local environment which gave rise to its designation as one of the Borough’s oldest, albeit smallest, Conservation Areas. You can find the Articles of Association here. The Association works closely with the London Borough of Enfield (LBE) and other preservation, heritage, amenity, local business and residents’ organisations to ensure the area preserves its character and aesthetic appeal.
What we do
We undertake preservation and restoration projects of historically and socially important structures, such as The Stocks, traditional traffic signs, and boundary markers. Preserving such structures for public benefit, some of which are in a poor state, is a high priority for the Association.
The Association also undertakes tree planting, bulb planting and monitoring of various highways improvement to ensure that works are sympathetic to this locale. It has also undertaken research to support the listing of buildings which contribute to the character of Southgate Green.
SGA is committed to increasing public awareness of the special character of Southgate Green. We hope you will find this website useful and informative… Read more…
