Title
Buildings in Platt Street and Purchese Street
Description
View of the rear of the former police station and houses in Platt Street, Camden, looking north across a grassed area, a hard-surfaced area enclosed by a chain link fence and past a sizable industrial building with an asbestos cement corrugated apex roof. To the right of the view, the 1940s housing block of the Chenies which, together with Cecil Rhodes House to the north, constitutes the Goldington Street Estate. On the left of the view appears to be a c1960 single-storey school building (possibly part of the Edith Neville Primary School) with a canopy and shed buildings in front with two adults sitting on a bench. The rear gardens of the derelict houses in Platt Street look to be full of dumped materials along with a crane. Vehicles visible on Purchese Street on the right of the view include a Morris Oxford Series VI, a Ford Transit Custom van and a Bedford TK truck parked in front of the coal depot at the rear of St Pancras Station. The buildings in the immediate area have since been demolished and replaced with a low-rise housing estate around a new entrance road, Somers Close.
