economy

Enfield has a long history of arms manufacturing , most notably through the Royal Small Arms Factory . The Lee-Enfield rifle in caliber .303 was the orderly rifle of the British Army until 1957 , and is still used in some cases today. Other small arms made locally were the Bren and Sten machine guns , with the "-en" in the name indicating Enfield manufacture.

The world's first semiconductor color televisions were manufactured by Ferguson in their former Enfield facility. The first industrially manufactured dishwasher was manufactured in the now closed Hotpoint factory in Enfield.

The world's first automated teller machine (ATM) went into operation in the local branch of Barclays Bank in 1967 .

A typical Art Deco factory building with a Grade II listing is on Southbury Road. The Ripaults Factory was located in it ; Travis Perkins' offices are located here today .
