- Description
- The third episode features Caledonian Road, which starts next to Kings Cross station and heads north for over a mile. From its beginning, the street has been resolutely working class and when Charles Booth visited he found it a depressing district. But the people of ‘The Cally’, as it’s affectionately known to residents, have held their community together despite being challenged by powerful outside forces, and have as well a reputation for being a bit rough around the edges. Featuring fascinating and often passionate accounts from residents both past and present, the film tells the story of the changing faces of this remarkable street.
