The Plaza Cinema ended as the art-house Camden Plaza in 1994, and the Gaumont Palace of 1937 at 14 Parkway, which is labelled here as the Odeon Social Club, showed films until February 2026. Behind the frontages, the sheet records clothing manufacture, upholstery and piano repair, jobs that are easily overlooked in Camden's commercial history. Beside Camden Town Underground station, the sheet also names Marks and Spencer, Bowman Bros house furnishers, the London Co-operative Society drapers and furnishers, the London Electricity Board training school and North Thames Gas Board premises. Bowman Bros had their factories in Greenland Street and Bayham Street. The plan was kept current for fire-risk assessment by overlays recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. Its latest dated correction is a vacancy label on the east side of Camden High Street, dated February 1970. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in September 1948, with a 1951 copyright date, and a key plan for South London from the same group records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Inverness Street, Arlington Road, Kentish Town Road, Camden Road, Greenland Road and Underhill Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371814408539,"sku":"P-9-001278","price":260.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001278a.jpg?v=1792091278"},{"product_id":"goad-london-407-nw1-camden-town-regent-s-canal-oval-road-1954-1970-old-map-p-9-001280","title":"Goad London 407—NW1—Camden Town—Regent's Canal—Oval Road 1954 (1970) old map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 407 [Camden: Oval Road, Jamestown Road, Regent's Canal and Gloucester Crescent]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eGoad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 407, covers Camden at Oval Road and Regent's Canal (NW1), and it follows one site through three lives. The former Gilbey premises beside Oval Road and Jamestown Road are labelled Shipton Automation's electrical-component workshops and warehousing. Their conversion as Gilbey House apartments in 1997 carried the site from drink through engineering to housing. The circular former Collard and Collard piano factory at 12 Oval Road is not named on the sheet, and it is now offices. The rest of the sheet shows Camden goods shed, the National Carriers trailer park, R. Deards Ltd transport contractors' garage and the London Borough of Camden engineers' depot. This reissue supersedes the March 1891 outline edition, which is marked obsolete and preserves Gilbey's industrial complex and Collard's piano works before clearance for trailer parking. Fire risk was priced from plans such as this, which were kept current by slips recording changed uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building. Vacancy labels by Jamestown Road, dated February 1970, are the latest dated correction on this sheet. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in August 1954, with a 1954 copyright date, and a South London key plan from the same group records corrections to March 1971.

The premises of W. and A. Gilbey, the drinks empire that also filled the Roundhouse as a bonded warehouse from 1871, spread across the sheet, with the Collard piano works beside them. The sheet also shows the London and North Western Railway, which was absorbed into the LMS in 1923. Today Southampton Bridge carries Oval Road over the canal to what was Gilbey's wharf, where the Pirate Castle has stood since 1977. This edition, which is marked obsolete, records streets, building footprints and plot divisions with less occupancy and risk detail than the coloured plans. Insurers used those coloured plans to price fire risk and kept them current with overlays recording changed uses, altered layouts, demolition and new construction. A coloured replacement edition, reissued in August 1954 and corrected in February 1970, records transport uses and new occupancies, and the circular former Collard factory survives today in changed use as offices. The printed base heading is dated March 1891, and the replacement edition's 1954 reissue places the end of this sheet's regular updating at about 1954.
