Cumberland Market, Regents Park, Camden, Greater London Authority, 1930s. A view looking north-east across Cumberland Market towards Edward Street and terraced houses and vacant shops on the east side of the square. Cumberland Market was a hay and straw market from the early 19th century to the late 1920s. By the early 1930s buildings in the area were demolished to make way for council housing and yet more of the area was destroyed by bombing in the Second World War. The remaining buildings were demolished in 1950-51 and the Regent's Park Estate was built on the site.
