1/ THREAD: A walk in Camden celebrating (mostly) council housing and municipalism. Firstly, the Regent's Park Estate built by St Pancras Metropolitan Borough Council from 1951. Swallowfield (left), a later phase, was designed by Edward Armstrong and Frederick MacManus.
2/ There is some good quality new build from Camden, mostly social rent though sadly built to replace homes lost to HS2. I've written on the Regent's Park Estate here: https://t.co/R5jMrmEdiK
3/ The interwar Cumberland Market Estate, now Peabody, was social housing designed by architect C E Varndell for the Crown Estate built around a former branch of Regent's Canal.
4/ A nice St Pancras Metropolitan Borough lamppost in Park Village West.
5/ The Regent's Canal and the Grade II-listed Primrose Hill Primary School, designed for the School Board of London by ER Robson circa 1885.
