I think this large and imposing residence was called Haddo House. It was demolished in the early sixties to make way for a large public housing block (also called Haddo House) with smaller public housing units behind (Wheatley and Ravenscroft…I think). I lived in Wheatley with my parents and three siblings from 1964 to 1973 when I left for University. All of these buildings remain in 2021. My parents moved to a new development at Spedan Close in Hampstead in1978

J Caunt and son, hardware and oil shop. Opened in 1911. Mr Fred Caunt took it over from his father after WW2. I was friendly with his son and so worked there on Saturday mornings from about 1970 to 1976. It closed in the early 1980s when Fred retired and has now been refurbished as an Estate Agents. It is one of the oldest buildings in Kentish Town.

Platforms of the closed Highgate Road (High Level Station), closed in 1915. The Low Level station was on the west side of Highgate Road and this closed 3 years later in 1918. This can also be seen in this image.

This is the Kentish Town locomotive running shed and repair shop of the LMS (formerly Midland Railway)in use 1867-1963. The express engines that worked from St. Pancras were based here as well as the many shunting engines that worked to depots across London.

Hopefully the image immediately right will turn up as I'd love to see what was there before all the estates in that area. I lived in Vicars Road in the mid 1960's (until the age of 3) and have never seen a picture of that street or the house I lived in before the clearance. I notice the area where the estate Kiln Place is now. I wonder if they are brick kilns.

The mansion blocks in the foreground are Lissenden Gardens, which had been built at the turn of the century and are still standing, apart from 1-10 which was destroyed in World War II
