Camden's Estate. Patched yellow stock brick; Nos 75 & 85 with
channelled stucco ground floors, all with continuous stucco
1st floor sill band. Slated mansard roofs, each with a dormer

HISTORICAL NOTE: Kirkman and Hendy were amongst the first
speculative builders to take leases following Lord Camden's
Estate Act passed in 1788 for the building of 1,400 houses for
"industrious artisans" on the southern part of his Kentish
Town Estate. Their first take was in June 1790 and the leases
for the houses on Royal College Street all ran from Michaelmas
1790. Nos 75-85 appear on the Stockdale Map of 1797.
