    I have lived in Camden since I was born in the early 80s and it's so nostalgic see all these old photos, thanks for bringing back a lot of memories for me of growing up there, especially of the high street and the Camden Lock, Chalk Farm area

    Great little video, I grew up near the Fortress Road picture, I think it was a Piano shop on the junction there. I walked down KT Road a couple of years back and was quite depressed that it looked even worse than I remembered, as is true of so much of North London. Hackney has a feel of what Camden was like in the 60s-70's. Thanks for the effort.

    The Midland Bank was my first bank when I moved to Camden,there was a lovely bank manager there who helped me budget.
    Compendium was my favourite shop,was heartbroken when it closed.Thanks for that trip down memory lane.

    My manor in the 50'&60's it was a great great place to live...then. Went back recently...Hampstead Road NW1 area...it was like a, expletive deleted, filthy rat infested ghetto. Nearly threw up, I couldn't wait to get out of the place and get home for a shower, felt like my head had been shat in. My Mum and Dad would have cried. Such a shame to have my childhood, and teenage, memories of a smashing place to grow up, defiled. Thanks for posting mate, very nice photographs.

    Thankyou. I grew up in Kentish Town in the fifties. Would have loved some labels. Lots of places look familiar and I can't place them.Where did they come from Mr M?

    Compendium Books and Dingwalls were the only two reasons anyone went to Camden until what was once a quiet, run-down neighborhood was transformed into a hideous tourist draw.

    • @cadetmouse
      @cadetmouse  Před rokem +2

      I worked at dingwalls and bought my magazines at Compendium. The heart was finally ripped out of camden high street by the end of the 80s...now its crap. Nothing.

    Used to deliver to Pages Stores in the 1960's it was a big very busy shop, do you know when it closed ?

    • @cadetmouse
      @cadetmouse  Před 3 lety +1

      Sadly I dont, but my guess was the late 70s as I never saw it in the early 80s....

    • @cadetmouse
      @cadetmouse  Před 3 lety +1

      I have no idea, sometime late 70s early 80s, wasn't there in 82' when I first came to Camden....
