Title
Houses in Egbert Street
Description
View of mid nineteenth-century three-storey houses in Egbert Street, Primrose Hill, in the former Metropolitan Borough of St Pancras, looking north from Chalcot Road. The brick-built houses have banded rendering to the ground floor, cornices supported on brackets above the first-floor windows and entrance door, and iron railings along the frontage. The factory offices, seen at the end of the street, were formerly a piano manufactory, electrical engineering company, and a pharmaceutical manufacturer, currently Utopia Village business complex and luxury flats. Vehicles parked in the street include a Hillman Imp, Renault 5 saloon, a Citroen 2CV, Ford Cortina Mk III models, and numerous other makes including Volkswagen, Riley, and Triumph. A woman with a child in a pushchair can be seen crossing the rain-soaked street, with a graffiti on the gable wall behind supporting Chelsea and Arsenal football clubs and Slade and T Rex rock groups.
