where we used to live

Stanhope Street in the late 50s. Note the St Pancras Borough Council wagon pulled by a Scammel mechanical horse; was it a sort of dust cart?
	Southern end of Little Albany Street, The Nash Concessionaires garage near the flats in the distance. The building on the extreme RH edge of frame, corner of William Road, must be St Bede's Hall where the 26th St Pancras Cubs pack hung out.
The Cape of Good Hope pub, corner of William Road and Albany Street. It looks like they're pulling stuff down further up the street, prior to building the new police station.
	The old Victory pub, corner of Nash Street - as was - and Albany Street. As far as I recall, the new Victory was built behind the old (to the left in the picture) before it was pulled down.
Little Edward Street with Camberley House visible at the end. The primary school was later built behind the rusting corrugated iron fence on the right. The sign on the left says Tetra Engineering, but I don't know what they did there.
	The board proclaims the Cumberland Market Gardens! Windsor House behind on the left.
The old bag factory, at the north end of Little Edward Street, corner of Redhill Street. Camberley House is to the left of frame, Swinley just visible behind, and Bagshot on the right. The white-framed door in Little Albany Street was used in the making of the famous BBC production of ‘1984’ as was the interior of the upper floor office. It was used as an "apartment" for one of the characters played by Peter Cushing.
