Back in 2015, the area of Camden Market running alongside Regent’s Canal stood fenced-off and awaiting demolition. Street artists were permitted to roam, and I was let in with a camera just days before the whole site was flattened.
The eerie shots captured Hawley Wharf in limbo, with giant artwork seemingly depicting the last, heaving gasps of the various condemned buildings.
Now, as the whole area finally reopens to the public, six and a half years (and three lockdowns) later, we’ve set these historic images against ones of the shiny new development, for a striking glimpse at how things have changed.
