The pogues and that petrol emotion used to drink in there. In 1989, I returned back to my home city of Derry to go to uni. But, i always return to camden at least once a year.

I worked on a tunnel contract at Chalk Farm in 1962 a part of the wall on Adelaide Rd was knocked down for an entrance and site accommodation was erected. The old tunnel was used for empty railway carriages into Kings Cross, electrification of trains meant the tunnel was too small to install the overhead cabling. So it was enlarged using 3 crews of paddy miners working off coal trucks, the old tunnel lining was removed on ring at a time down to track level. The clay excavated and dropped into the coal wagons, new profile tunnel lining segments would be erected to the larger diameter. Each lunch time a train would arrive pulling some empty wagons, plus others carrying the new segments and cement for the grouting these would be dropped off at each work station and the previous days wagon attached to the front of the train and taken away. While mining under the Round House some brickwork was encountered in the top of the tunnel, this was knocked out and a torrent of water flowed into the tunnel. The miners had hit the flooded cellars of the Round House, pump were installed and the tunnel progressed under and away from the area. later the hole was repaired with reinforced concrete and the leaks sealed as well. The singer who kept ripping his pants lived just near the iron bridge, can't think of his name.

Geez, I immigrated back to Canada back in 1992. Haven't been back to the UK since, but had a short term live-in job at a pub called the "BUCKS HEAD" , before I transferred to a live-in catering gig in Wimbledon,at Southlands College, just up the road from Putney Village. I wonder if the Bucks Head is still there, on the corner, if anyone can tell me. I know for a fact that Dingwalls is done and over with 1990-s . I went down to London from Glasgow, to stay with a friend, for her 21st B-Day back in November of 1991. When I took the Picadilly Line ,then transferred to the Northern Line to get to Camden Town, on the Saturdays when I got my "pay packet" as they refer to it over there, Yeah Camden Town was the place to be,on a sunny Saturday afternoon, wandering into Dingwalls, stepping back into a "1950's Rock-'n'-Roll time warp" needless to say,in my obvious SKA, REGGAE,SOUL ,I stuck out like a sore thumb, against these 1950's Be-boppers, furiously "Jitter-bugging" away on the dance floor. Sadly, when I went there, on that visit while in London, I went up to Camden Town, Dingwalls was gone, replaced by various overpriced boutique after boutique. But when it was still alive and kicking, going into the joint , but GREAT original vintage 1950 which I still enjoyed inspite of feeling out of place, music and fashion-wi, to say the least. Lol,😂 but still , it was fabulous times, nice folks, & the fondest memories. Here's to good 'ol Camden Town. 🍺🎤🎸🎷🎺🎛️🎶🇯🇲 ⬛♥️⬛♥️⬛♥️⬛♥️⬛ ♥️⬛♥️⬛♥️⬛♥️⬛♥️ ⬛♥️⬛♥️⬛♥️⬛♥️⬛

I used to go to a good mixer back in the 90s most nights during the britpop years. I remember meeting menswear in there. I also remember playing pool with Finley Quaye plus Adrian Hunter who was Pete doherty's manager and who can forget Scottish Alan used to go around collecting my glasses I was like security. The mixer staff were great because you could always have some banter with them whether it was over cricket or rugby as they would always be Aussies or New Zealanders. You would also find Andy Ross in there who ran food records and was Blur's manager. There was lots of other well-known people if I was to name them all here I'll be here all bloody night. I know it sounds hard to believe during the summer of 94 and 95 but the mixer was so full people would drinking on the road and a pavement outside the mixer, it was Mayhem down Inverness Street. Before it was pedestrianised. After the mixer would Close around 11 you would walk up to the Dublin Castle and stay there until it was closing time, unless it was a Friday and Saturday night and you was going to he monarch which was a nightclub on two floors after the band had finished. When they're closed about 2:30 am in the morning you would headed straight for for the marathon about 100 yards away bar where you could order more beer in Cans. Sometimes the musicians would still be on and after they had finished they would go round with a hat asking for donations, great times during the 90s britpop area. Unfortunately things like this will never happen again because of Council and there stupid rules and regulations. I nearly forgot there was another great britpop kind of club called blow-up on a Saturday night which was at the Laurel tree till it moved in late 95. Anyone who remembers them times will know what a special era it was in Camden

Great to watch these videos and remember all the memories i had down there, Im from the highlands of Scotland but moved down to Camden in the nineties to early 2000s, you can actually see the tower block where i ended up living at the very beginning of the video, Anyhoo since this video talks about the music scene i just wanted to say my wee surprise i got one evening when i was selling drugs ( not happy about that part of my life btw lol ) but anyway im serving up and i got a knock on the door and there was some wee guy with long hair and a long trench coat. he asked for 5 half gs but i only had a couple left so said to the guy you can wait here for 10 mins or come with me to the re up and ill give you the rest there. He decided to come but as we were on the lift down he says to me btw when we get out side you will see Shane McGowan sitting in a car so please don't approach him or anything, so yeah i sold him his 5 half gs ( forgot to say i think he said he was the manager) and little did i know at the time but for a time lol i was supplying Shane with most of his drugs, I always wondered if he wrote any of his hits while wasted on my behalf. Rest in peace Shane

Camden would have been a wonderful place in its prime. Its legacy has been shat on with a surfeit of tourists, £6 pints, chain pubs, tacky souvenir stores and sheeple donning empty, derivative fashions. Camden was a place brimming with organic culture and personality. It’s now weathered 2 decades devoid of culture or personality. Where everything is a hollow impersonation of better times. The punks, the metalheads, the hippies, the soul singers, have coalesced into a bleak, contrived puddle of phone zombies and Instagram posers. Camden hasn’t been allowed to die with dignity. It’s a wreck festooned in a desolate vibrancy that insists the place still lives.

I REMEMBER CAMDEN HIGH STREET FROM THE 70S AND 80s, when I used to have naughty gay bookshop at number 283 near the Canal bridge (Zipper). When we moved in around 1978 there was a working class cafe next door, Alfredo's was it? Lots of chips - and tea came already-sugared with 5 spoons, and automatically bread and butter would arrive without asking. Nobody had heard of Polenta. Honest John's records was next door, and a Greek Cypriot dress-factory at the back. Compendium Books was opposite, and a great place. There were loads of great Cypriot restaurants, and one nice Armenian one too. Inverness Street was full of fruit stalls run by sexy barrow boys, and a Fine Fare on the corner set the down-market tone of the place. I had a photo studio nearby, later on, on the corner of Parkway, nudged between the bingo hall and the cinema. Happy days! Lots of booze at the Black Cap, and kleftiko in Zorba's.

I think it is on par with their first album One Step...Great to see where the The Clash (also a favorite ) had the photo for their debut, taken. Them and Madness shared a rehearsal room and there is a story about Madness arriving for practice in Police uniforms as they had just shot the video for Shut Up. They knocked on the door saying they were the police and members of The Clash ran in the opposite direction flushing what ever illegal substances they had, down the drain. ‘We dressed as coppers and raided the Clash. They didn’t speak to us for five years’

The Ed (Edinburgh Castle was our local. 4:30 The horses were housed underneath the Camden Market. All blocked off now but still visible, I believe (if you know where to look). 5:46 Is that one of the nuclear trains which used to pass through London? My favourite group of the time? Photgenix.

I used to run the Oddbins off licence at Chalk Farm in 97-98, pretty much opposite the kebab shop. Daniel the guitarist was a regular and we would go over for dinner and plenty of booze every weekend. He was out of this world. He told us he lived and played in California during the psychedelic era with the grateful dead being a session musician. Great times.

Wow! I never knew the history of Holts Dr Martens shop. Back in the day (before graphics went computerised) I used to get my typesetting done above the shop by a nice, cool guy.

Hi mate. Love these videos. The guy in the Rock n Roll rescue shop was Knox the guitarist from the Vibrators punk band.

First proper gig I ever went to was at the Roundhouse as a teenage Punk....XRAY SPEX supported by the original incarnation of Adam and the Ants. I think I was only 14 and scared shitless there and all the way back to South London after on my own!

I went to Camden last week for the first time, just to get away from it all. It's all that you said here and so much more.
