Freezywater is a place in the London Borough of Enfield on the northern boundary of Greater London.
Freezywater occupies an area to either side of the Hertford Road from its junction with Ordnance Road in the south to Bullsmoor Lane and the Holmesdale Tunnel overpass in the north, and includes an area westwards towards the Liverpool Street-Cheshunt railway line. It is contiguous with Waltham Cross, even though the two are divided by the M25 motorway and the boundary between Greater London and Hertfordshire.
First recorded as Freezywater (1768) and Freezy Water (1819); originally a name of a pond here, so called from its bleak and exposed situation.
Originally a farm stood in this area in the 18th century, called Freezy Water Farm and the area was later named accordingly. During World War II Chesterfield School was hit by a V1 flying bomb aimed for the Royal Small Arms Factory, approximately 1.5 miles due east of the school. There was only one fatality within the school grounds, a teacher looking for her school children.
Pharaoh, he was a powerful man
With the ancient world in the palm of his hand
To all intents and purposes, he was Egypt with a capital E
Whatever he did he was showered with praise
If he cracked a joke then you chortled for days
No one had rights or a vote but the king
In fact you might say he was fairly right wing
When Pharaoh's around, then you get down on the ground
If you ever find yourself near Ramses, get down on your knees
A Pharaoh story, a Pharaoh story
Down at the other end of the scale
Joseph is still doing time in jail
For even though he is in with the guards
A lifetime in prison seems quite on the cards
But if my analysis of the position is right
At the end of the tunnel there's a glimmer of light
For all of a sudden indescribable things
Have shattered the sleep of both peasants and kings
Strange as it seems, there's been a run of crazy dreams
And a man who can interpret could go far, could become a star
Could be famous, could be a big success
