The London & Birmingham Railway was the major project of its
day, designed by Robert Stephenson, one of the great railway
pioneers, who also supervised its construction and its opening in
1837. Camden Goods Station became the goods terminus and Euston
Station the passenger terminus. For a few years trains were hauled
by rope from Euston up the incline to Camden before the
intensification of both passenger and goods services rendered such
technology obsolete. The L&BR left a strong footprint on the
landscape from Euston to Camden Town and Primrose Hill. The story
moves from rapid economic growth to eventual decline and then to
the recent regeneration. The historic features around the former
Goods station are providing the basis of Camden's transformation
through its markets, media, music, food and entertainment into a
global brand. Join Peter Darley in unfolding this story from 1837
to the present day.
