Camden Town & Kentish Town Then & Now

This book covers many aspects of life, both past and present, in the adjacent neighbourhoods of Camden Town and Kentish Town in Northwest London. The transformation from fields to streets in the area began in the eighteenth century, when it was crossed by railway lines that provided much local employment and Camden Town was also a notable centre of the piano making industry. While public houses ‘“ some of which were originally coaching inns – proliferated, the residents’™ spiritual needs were well served by churches and chapels. Theatres and cinemas provided entertainment and an extraordinary array of goods could be bought in the shops on or close to Camden High Street and Kentish Town Road. More recently, the area around Camden Lock on the Regent’™s Canal has become one of London’™s leading tourist attractions, famous for its vibrant atmosphere, restaurants and shops whilst post Second World War redevelopment has replaced large areas of Victorian housing. This book shows that while much has changed amazingly, much has also survived.
