Categories: Commerce, Sculpture

A local business man, he had the vision to create Camden Passage antiques market in the early 1960s. We can't prove that he was also a sculptor but his surname is inscribed on the Cruden relief bust in Camden Passage. Has written a book: "From Camden Passage with Love". In the picture he is the man in the centre.
