Caledonian Road

This episode features Caledonian Road, which starts next to King's 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 is affectionately known to residents, have held their community together despite being challenged by powerful outside forces as well as 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.
