Following my visit to Keystone Crescent on 26 July 2019 [qv], I returned the following Sunday to do some more practical research on the ground. I had learned that an original Caledonian Crescent sign can still be seen on the side of 48 Caledonian Road. This might well be the case but that building was obscured by scaffolding and attendant sheeting. On the opposite corner (no. 46), there is evidence of the removal of an older street sign. That was a disappointment and strikes me as an act (possibly unintentional) of cultural vandalism. TZ70_P1000384

Towards the south end of Caledonian Road, where it meets Pentonville Road is one of London's hidden gems, the kind of place you might think no longer exists in today's harsh, over-busy city. Keystone Crescent, formerly Caledonian Crescent (1846), was renamed in 1917. According to the placard, it has the smallest radius of any crescent in Europe and is unique in having a matching inner and outer circle. TZ70_P1000328CE
