How uncanny that Mason mentions artist Walter Sickett, as he is now considered to be a Jack the Ripper suspect, & Mason visits 29 Hanbury Street (Annie Chapman murder scene) in this doco too.
That's some serious decay. Must have been empty for nigh on a 50 years. Bad management, I say! Can't blame 'em for ripping it down. How come the Camden Palace still survived?
P.S. Any chance of re-uploading without the bad stereo/mono and bit missing at the end? Thanks anyway.

It had only been closed eight years at this point and eventually demolished in 1969.

Wow! That is shocking. And very sad.

even more sad when you see what replaced it...an ugly cheap square 1960's box of a building.

I live in Camden. What is the shop that replaced it? I can never figure which part of Camden it is. I take it it was on the High Street.

Bedford house stands on the site now with a somerfields shop on the ground floor. It's on Camden high st.

Oh, yeah, but you've got to admit it's far lovelier and pleasing to the eye than that horrible old theatre thingy.
