Historical House in Camden for Sale

There's a new controversy brewing regarding one of the houses that Verlaine and Rimbaud lived in during their stay in England. It is postulated by scholars that many of Rimbaud's Illuminations were written there. The owner of that building wants to put it on the market, and there is concern that a developer would tear it down in order to build new condominiums, or something. Bob Dylan and Patti Smith have been called in. The second link contains the email address of Gerry Harrison, a councillor whom has details of the campaign.
