Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 404 [Camden Town: Kentish Town Road, Hawley Crescent, Regent's Canal and the Aerated Bread Company works]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 404, covers Camden Town at Hawley Crescent and Kentish Town Road (NW1), and it holds the district's lost industry. The Aerated Bread Company's canalside works ceased production in 1982, and Grimshaw's Sainsbury's took its place in 1988. In 2019 the store became the first purpose-built supermarket to be listed Grade II. Terry Farrell converted the Henlys motor depot, a 1930s garage, for TV-am, complete with egg-cups above Regent's Canal, and the station was on air from 1 February 1983. MTV bought the building in 1993, and Paramount holds it now. In the sheet's day, George Newnes publishing premises, butchery and cold stores filled out the trades. Bodley and Garner's St Michael's Church of 1881 still serves the parish, and the sheet marks Hawley Locks on the canal. Such plans were used to price fire risk and were kept current with pasted slips recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The latest dated correction identified on this sheet is a vacancy note at 7 Buck Street, dated February 1970. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in December 1957, with a 1957 copyright date, and a key plan for South London, acquired with the same group, records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Camden High Street, Stucley Place, Camden Road, Camden Street, Lyme Street and Georgiana Street.
