Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 403 [Camden Town: Camden High Street, Kentish Town Road, Camden Road and Regent's Canal]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 403, covers Camden Town along Camden High Street and Regent's Canal (NW1). The sheet is centred on Rowton House of 1905, which was the last and largest of the Rowton Houses for working men. Today the building serves a kindred purpose as Arlington House, which reopened in June 2010 after rebuilding and provides supported accommodation for homeless adults, training and employment support, affordable flats and office space. The canalside has been unrecognisable since Hawley Wharf opened in August 2021, though Hawley Locks, Kentish Town Lock, the railway viaduct and St Martin's Gardens remain fixed points. Clothing and hat manufacture, scientific-instrument making, frozen-food premises and workshops beneath the railway reveal Camden's varied production and storage economy. Hawley Wharf's later combination of homes, market space, a cinema, workspace and workshops shows how part of this industrial district has been adapted to a broader mixture of living, leisure and work. On the sheet itself, the road-making materials depot label names the London Borough of Camden, which was formed in April 1965. The plan was made for fire-risk assessment and carried pasted revisions recording changed uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building. Its latest dated correction is a vacancy note at 47-49 Kentish Town Road, dated February 1970. The printed base heading is dated March 1891, 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 Camden Road, Chalk Farm Road, Castlehaven Road, Hawley Road, Hawley Crescent, Jamestown Road, Inverness Street, Buck Street, Parkway, Greenland Road, Georgiana Street and Royal College Street.
