Is that a Boat in this Corner ?

Having a wander around the OXO tower the other evening and what should I come across but a corner of a rather old building with a boat sticking out !

I love corners of buildings and London certainly has many more to offer but I never thought I'd find a boat sticking out of won but then again being this close to the Thames could come in handy....

Camden NW1.....

Welcome to the corner of Albert Street/Delancey Street in Camden NW1.

What do we see but a great house with beautiful stone and wonderful windows with small ledges and wrought iron borders. The road or should I say street signs are actually painted on the brickwork !

However did you notice the windows that have been bricked up ? In the past people were taxed based upon the amount of windows and therefore many were just bricked up and never to see the light of day again.....
