Arcadia Works, Carreras Ltd., London : from the : Shell-Mex Book of Oil Heating : c.1930
A sketch by ‘Strangeman’ of the impressive Arcadia Works in Camden where Black Cat Cigarettes were made. It was erected in 1926/8 for the Carreras Company and designed architects M. E. and O. H. Collins and A. G. Porri.
A noted ‘Egyptian’ style building it still survives but sadly short of many of its decorative features. The artists perspective appears to be the upper stories of Mornington Crescent tube station as one of the once common Underground lamp brackets can be seen very clearly.
