Title
Housing block in Platt Street
Description
View of a late Victorian five-storey municipal housing block on the south side of Platt Street, Camden, between Purchese Street and St Pancras Road. The block is built around Pancras Square seen with railings and large masonry gateposts at each entrance. A horse and cart can be seen at the roadside together with two handcarts, one owned by Express Dairies and the other with a man in a light-coloured drivers coat and a white-topped cap. Workmen are painting the railings. The block and the east end of Platt Street have since been demolished following catastrophic bomb damage sustained during World War II and replaced by the Chenies housing block which, together with Cecil Rhodes House to the north, constitutes the Goldington Street Estate.
