<p><font size="1"> When you think of Camden's Hatton Garden, you think
of diamonds and jewellery. But the street has another distinction.
In the 1880's prolific American inventor Sir Hiram Maxim designed
and built the first machine guns there, fearsome new weapons that
could fire three hundred rounds and more per minute. Less earth-shatteringly,
Sir Hiram is also credited with inventing an automatic re-setting
mouse trap. <br>

used to store coal that was transported along the canal. By the
1970's, the site was derelict and in the 1980's the Greater London
Council had plans to build a coach park there. But after a campaign
by local people, the site was earmarked for a nature reserve.<br>
