Bright Plaques, Bold Stories: Camden’s Heritage Comes Alive

Just Streets Update: Camden’s Streets Get a Splash of History 

Camden’s Streets have been turned into a living museum!  

Last week, CRP Partner, Camden Town Unlimited, hosted a plaque reveal walk to explore the brightly coloured plaques have popped up across the area, each one telling a unique story from Camden’s rich industrial past. These vibrant markers are designed to spark curiosity and get people walking, exploring, and connecting with their surroundings. 

It’s all part of Tracking the Heritage, an educational programme by Urban Learners and Camden Highline. Through interactive walking tours and creative workshops, people can dive into Camden’s history and imagine its future. The plaques act as storytelling waypoints, bringing the past to life with every step. 

This initiative marks the first step in project delivery for CRP’s Just Streets project, a Horizon Europe-funded project promoting active travel and inclusive public spaces. By making heritage visible and accessible, Camden Town Unlimited is helping build stronger ties between people and place.
