Well not exactly a mile - but rare. This is the temporary Overground
route from South Hampstead to Camden Road via Primrose Hill. The train usually crawl through Primrose Hill and the old station can be easily seen (albeit through the grime of the train windows). It appears to be complete but somewhat covered in grafiti. Travelling back and forth some photos can be taken of both sides of this island station. The route also allows a bird's eye view of the devastation caused to Camden Market this year. This includes the damage caused by the fire at Camden Lock Market, including the total lack of progress by Camden Council to do anything about clearing away and repairing the damaged site. This is typical procrastination from a Council that obviously doesn't care about the livelihoods of the market traders and shop owners. However the surprising other view of the Camden Market is the extent of the devastation caused by the property developers in tearing down the old Horse Stables and Tunnels at the other end of the Market. This demolition and rebuiding into glass fronted office blocks will change forever the ambiance of what remains of the Market. Indeed the deliberate demolition by the property developers of these historic buildings is FAR FAR worse than that caused by the fire on the other side. CJB. |
