We have just begun a new blog about the history of Camden which covers Hampstead, St John's Wood, Camden Town, Kentish Town, St Pancras and Holborn. The first story looks at the Hampstead Smallpox Hospital which opened 150 years ago to try and cope with the pandemic. Another story examines the strange 1907 Camden Town Murder. We will continue to post stories about Kilburn and West Hampstead on this site. Here is the link to the new site: https://historyofcamden.blogspot.com/
