A photographer called Iain Macmillan was a friend of John and Yoko and, during the morning of Friday 8 August 1969 found himself commissioned to take a photo of the Fab Four to adorn their latest studio release, an album called ’Abbey Road’. As the group waited outside the studio for the shoot to begin, Linda McCartney took a number of extra photographs.

'The Benevolent Institution for the Relief of Aged and Infirm Journeymen' was founded in Kentish Town on 10 February 1837. The asylum consisted of the chapel and ten houses; the dwelling at the south end being appropriated for the chaplain. Each house consisted of eight rooms, two being allotted to each pensioner. As reported in 1843, there were thirty-six male pensioners and their wives in the asylum. In addition to the apartments, each pensioner received 8 shillings a week plus coal.

It provides an unique and rare glimpse into the land usage in London during that time. What sets Milne’s map apart from its predecessors is not only its ambitious scope and accurate information but also its innovative presentation. Using a colour code and lettering system, Milne effectively distinguishes between twelve different land-use categories, resulting in an unparalleled depiction of London and its surrounding areas during a period of rapid transformation. On this section in particular, we can see the line of the New Road (Marylebone Road and Euston Road) in its attempt to curtail the northern growth of the capital. The footprint of the then-future Regent’s Park is evident.

This map shows it as a ’work in progress’. The Waterloo monument didn’t turn out to be the major feature that had been proposed. The park overtook the planned streets around Cumberland Market.
