Shock view of market’s devastation
• RESIDENTS and traders around Camden Market might be interested in travelling the temporary overground route from South Hampstead to Camden Road via Primrose Hill.
The route allows a bird’s eye view of the devastation caused to Camden Market this year – at both ends.
This includes the damage caused by the fire at Camden Lock Market, including the total lack of progress by Camden Council to do anything about clearing away and repairing the damaged site. This is typical procrastination from a council that obviously doesn’t care about the livelihoods of the market traders and shop owners.
However, the surprising other view of Camden Market is the extent of the devastation caused by the property developers in tearing down the old Horse Stables and Tunnels at the other end of the market.
This demolition and rebuilding into glass fronted office blocks will change forever the ambiance of what remains of the market.
Indeed, the deliberate demolition by the property developers of these historic buildings is far, far, worse than damage caused by the fire on the other side.
From the train it is just about possible to photograph the remains of Camden Market through the grime on the train windows.
