My old school being demolished for a tube station?! Hawley Infants Camden Town

This is a video I've wanted to put together for about 4 years. It jumps around a bit.
I went to Hawley Infants School in Buck Street, Camden Town, London NW1
It's now called Hawley Infants and Primary School and it's moved. So now the old school is due for demolition. It's to make way for a new Camden Town Tube Station entrance.

I went to visit it twice, in 2017 and 2019, after going to a closing party in 2016.
It was significant for me, because my kids are the same age I was while I went there in the sometimes bleak 1970's. Everything I remember about the place, I put in this blog post here: https://neilmossey.blogspot.com/2016/...

An aggressive pusher was always lurking in Buck Street... will I even be able to shoot the video?

0:00 Me in Buck Street avoiding a local pusher to finally shoot the school in 2019!
1:30 Looking into the building through the school gates.
1:50 The Hawley Infants closing down party, July 2016. Bins area, playground, and TV room.
2:39 Trying to recreate a photo of my Dad with my kids at the Queen's Silver Jubilee party at the school in 1977.
3:28 I used to be terrified in the Television Room by the countdown for TV programmes for Schools. It was only shown in the London area by the ILEA TV station, which was a cable station just for ILEA schools.
4:37 More exteriors of Hawley Infants from August 2019.
4:53 Footage from 2017, with rubbish and a run down state.
5:25 Photos of my old class.
6:12 Hawley Infants school gates then and now. Approached by the threatening looking dealer.
6:45 Wide shot of Hawley Infants from the other side of the road, with Amy Winehouse mural on the wall.
