I think you're in the Borough of Camden, in which case the Camden Civic Society might be able to advise you. Their website is at: http://ccs.openpathways.org.uk/<br /><br />Also SAVE Britain's Heritage campaign for buildings at risk. Their website:<br />http://www.savebritainsheritage.org/index.php<br /><br />I hope this helps, and good luck!<br />Philip Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893714514416441572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228081722487474323.post-72556163271641362842015-03-10T19:31:08.921+00:002015-03-10T19:31:08.921+00:00have added to my blog just saying!

When I passed by recently, the decorative tops to the washing line posts seemed to be there, but I heard that they are replacements, not the originals.

Made by Doulton, they were then still in place. I am not sure what has happened to them except three appeared this June at an auction house in Salisbury. They sold for between 6 and 7000 pounds each! I was surprised to find them in the auction since the Somers Town Estate is, I think, listed. Prior to the auction, I emailed Camden Council conservation office but, sadly, received no response ...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228081722487474323.post-73952876832600747962013-12-27T22:01:39.371+00:002013-12-27T22:01:39.371+00:00Anna: Glad you like them.
