*Stupid question* Just wondering what they're for, normally one
side has a load of cables going along with two metal wires at the
top and the other has big fat cables.


Signalling, telecoms, power supply distribution.

One of the problems at Camden Town was that nobody knew, it seems!


Knowing what a cable carries and its start and finish points are
different.

I think that at after Camden everyone knew where those cables
finished. Where they started or what they were for was something else
entirely.

OK, I'll get my coat


LOL but you do have a point.
