1/ THREAD: a walk through Camden from Kentish Town West Overground station to Hampstead Heath station. First up one I couldn't find much about: 63 Prince of Wales Road - a 70s' Camden block, nice gardens to the rear.
2/ Further west, Denton Tower, a 20-storey tower block built by Camden in 1970. It's sheltered and retirement housing now. It looks darker, pre-refurb, in the 1988 image to the right.

3/ Headcorn on Malden Road, 125 flats in three six-storey blocks, is an attractive Camden scheme begun in 1966.

4/ Up the road, Southfleet - 160 flats and maisonettes in a seven-storey block, commissioned by Camden in 1971.

5/ Gilden Crescent - almost a High-Tech design so maybe built by Camden in the late 1970s (but I stand to be corrected).
6/ Veering east down Southampton Road, you come to the St Pancras Almshouses, built as ‘an asylum for decayed and deserving ratepayers of the parish’ in 1859. Hard to photograph now but seen well in the 1861 etching.

7/ Just along, Hornbeam House, Maitland Park Villas, built by the London County Council in the 1930's I'd guess.
8/ Back on Malden Road and into Gospel Oak, you see Wendling, part of the Lismore Circus Estate, designed by Frederick McManus and Partners for Camden Borough Council and opened in 1972. The image on the right is from 1988.

9/ Behind Wendling, you can see Bacton Tower - 120 flats in a 22-storey block designed by Armstrong & McManus. Commissioned by St Pancras Metropolitan Borough Council in 1965 and completed by Camden in 1967
10/ Next Ludham, part of the Lismore Circus estate. This was a scheme essentially inherited from St Pancras Metropolitan Borough Council. (Not a great picture.)
11/ Even worse pictures of Camden's famous Dunboyne Road Estate - it's gated so these are from outside. Grade II-listed as 'one of the first applications of low-rise, complex-section planning to a local authority housing estate'.

12/ You want to see inside? The picture on the right shows Neave Brown, its architect who lived on the estate till his death in 2018.

13/ Over to the west, you glimpse Cayford House - one of two 15-storey blocks commissioned by Hampstead Metropolitan Borough Council in 1962. Architect CE Jacobs.
14/ Arriving at Hampstead, you find South End Close, opened by Hampstead Metropolitan Borough Council in 1920 - a rare example of tenement housing built under the 1919 Housing Act. It had electric lighting and hoists for coal and refuse but passenger lifts came later.
