The good old days.. makes me think of the area I live in, which used to have a lot of farmland but all the farmers are selling their land to contractors left and right and building boring black and white houses ( not kidding that's the color scheme they have with little to no characteristics ) they are going up just about everywhere there used to be farmland. I am not a fan of this, if you must build housing, make them a tad bit attractive at least.
Thank you for this! I live in the area and I ‘ve always suspected it must have previously been very green as many backstreets are very leafy and there tiny gardens and squares and this is probably why - it used to be mostly fields! Also love learning about the back history of the streets and where their names come from.
Thank you for your detailed research on this area. It is a little poignant for me as my mother was relocated there 7 years ago (now 6 years deceased) in a 20- storey tower block on Agar Grove. Being the great explorer that she was we did walk around the neighbourhood a lot and seeing those streets on your map made me nostalgic. I used to walk down Royal College St all the time to get to Camden Road Station. Thank you. I love exploring London and have done all my life. I don't live there anymore but when I am there I still walk and explore. Endlessly fascinating.
It’s certainly a fascinating area with a long history - 1791 until now. I love walking along obscure back streets. A favourite hobby! Spent some time over the summer in the Camden Road area
