What jobs and roads helped Southgate grow in the early and middle 1900s?

"As early as 1922, several small industrial plants had moved to South Gate."

"The station was developed as a bus/underground interchange and the main building sits on an island between Southgate Circus and Station Parade where a series of bus stops are located."

"when Southgate station arrived in north London as part of the Piccadilly line extension in 1933 — replacing a blacksmith's that'd stood there for yonks"

"A.R. Maas Chemical Company, a firm later bought by Stauffer Chemical Company, opened its doors in 1922."

"By the tail end of the 1920s, Finsbury Park remained the northernmost station on the Piccadilly line, and the trams and buses shuttling passengers upwards from here were becoming uncomfortably crowded. An extension to Cockfosters was proposed"

"Firestone Tire and Rubber Company followed, digging up a bean field to build a new factory that it hoped would facilitate distribution of its products on the West Coast."

"The Edmonton district was divided in 1881, when its western part was made a separate district called Southgate."

"Plans for eight new stations — Manor House, Turnpike Lane, Wood Green, Bounds Green, Arnos Grove, Southgate, Enfield West (now Oakwood) and Cockfosters — were drawn up."

"Attracted by inexpensive land as well as easy access to light and power, water supplies and sewers, and major highways, railways, and waterways, Star Roofing Company (later U.S. Gypsum), General Motors, and the American Concrete and Steel Pipe Company were among the firms that arrived in the vicinity in the 1930s."

"Enfield is served by the Piccadilly line of the London Underground with stations at Arnos Grove"

"if you think about the growth of the Underground from 1900 to 1935, and how many new stations were added during that time — it's over 90 stations."

"By 1940, South Gate boasted more than 35 factories manufacturing chemicals, furniture, roofing, machinery, and other products."

"Enfield has a history of armaments manufacture"

"The branch served three collieries – Oxcroft, Barlborough and Southgate"

"An industrial base begun in the early 1920s grew and flourished during the 1940s in response to the demands of World War II."

"Designed by the renowned architect Charles Holden, the station opened on 13 March 1933 as part of the Picadilly Line extension."

"Southgate was predominantly developed in the 1930s: largish semi-detached houses were built on the hilly former estates (Walker, Osidge, Monkfrith, etc.) following increased transport development."

"In 1933, the North Circular Road was completed through Edmonton and Southgate"

"also in 1933, the London Underground Piccadilly line was extended from Arnos Grove (where it had reached the previous year), through Southgate tube station , on to Enfield West (now known as Oakwood ). This unleashed a building boom, and by 1939 the area had become almost fully developed."

"The most common job groups, by number of people living in South Gate, CA, are Office & Administrative Support Occupations (6,769 people), Production Occupations (5,035 people), and Transportation Occupations (3,958 people)."

"supporting roles in sectors such as manufacturing (14% of the workforce) and transportation and warehousing (11% of the workforce)."
