Same as me ! I went to Hackney Downs from 1972 to 1977/78, originally lived in Englefield Road, N.1 but moved to Hackney Wick in 1976 (Mabley Street). Moved out of Hackney in 1985, (to Grays, Essex and then Barking) now I am on the other side of the world near Sydney !! I can still manage to see the football live over here.
This brings back so many memories and there is so much that i could relate to this. I lived at 254 Dalston lane and went to Hackney Downs School, I was in the choir at St Johns church which is not shown, but always reminded me of a robot. My old man used to drink in the Pembury tavern. The shop in Well street on the left was called Leaders during the sixties, and we lived in 21a over the top of Nat and Michaels barber shop. Thanks for the tears.

I WAS BORN IN VALLET WENT TO MORNINGSIDE SCHOOL SANG IN CHOIR AT ST LUKES AT CHRISTMAS WENT TO THE CUBS IN THE GRAVEL PITT CHURCH NEW ACKNEY LIKE THE BACK OF MY HAND COULD STAY OUT TILL 9 0 CLOCK NO TROUBLE LONG SUMMERS VICKY PARK LONDON FIELDS JUMPING ON AND OVER THE GRAVE STONES IN THE ALLY BY ST JOHNS NOW FENCED IN THANKS FROM MY DAD MY MUM MY BROTHER ME AND ALL MY EASTEND FAMILY FOR THIS
We used to play football nearly every day against the bubble and squeaks in the field in the middle of St Johns graveyard, there were a few grave stones sticking up and made good goal posts. We used to go to Sunday school at St Lukes, and the school used to have recreation days during school holidays. Victoria park was one of the few places us east enders could see real live deers. I still can see trolley buses when i think back to when we lived in Well Street, and Hackney bus station in Mare Street still had tram tracks. And i do remember the gravestones that you bounced over as did I. Also the pie and mash shop in Broadway market that had live eels outside. Broadway market was also used in the opening scenes of Buster, where Phil Collins smashes a shop window to steal a suit. Tankyou Thomas
My Hackney I love u.born mother’s hospital.from Dalston to mare street London fields park broadway market the canal Vicky park.who remembers Saturday market down the waste Kingsland road lol love u Hackney ur the best place to be and I’m still here wid you love u
Me and dad would go to the waste most Saturday mornings in the late 60's. There was a stall that sold apple fritters floating in a sort of cauldron of boiling fat and the guy would scoop them out and sprinkle loads of sugar over them, scrummy! I later had my first job at Sainsburys opposite Ridley Rd. Happy days!
I lived at 140 Dalston Lane, the garden backed in to Wises’ builders yard and I went to Brook house school, it started off as Joseph Priestly and we were in several different schools until Brook house got built. I think the head was called Badger Harris. Amazing what old photos from someone else archives can revive memories. Thanks Brian.
Thanks you for the video, it brought back quite a few memories of Hackney. My last visit to Hackney must have been in the 90s, unfortunately, I do know anyone who lives in Hackney now. I lived in Mehetabel Road near Morning Lane.
Nicely done Brian... thank you. Moved into Hackney about 1968 ish, moved out 1978 (I was about 11 or 12 years old) We lived in Fawcett Estate, Upper Clacton Road. E5 I went to Harrington Hill Primary School. Spent a lot of time in Springfield Park, the marshes, Stamford Hill, Craven Park (old disused water works - i think). My Nan and Great Aunt, moved from Tottenham Road, Dalston to the Nightingale Estate, one of the tower blocks, Sutherland Point. They use to take me to Ridley Road market. A very special treat was Cookes Pie n Mash shop on Kingsland High Road and the green liquor 👌 My first year at secondary school was at Brooke House... that was an experience. Still, happy times indeed...
Can anyone here remember the old Doctors Surgery that used to be in one of those houses in Amhurst Road? I can remember it as a kid back in the 1970s. I might get their names slightly misspelt, so apologies but there was a Dr Galander who wore glasses and was fairly robust as I recall. There was a Doctor Collier, who looked a bit like Jon Pertwee the actor who played Dr Who, that confused me when I was a kid lol, and there was a Dr Banerjee from India. I was informed before it got in the paper that Doctor Collier was ordained for his missionary work around the world but he kept it quiet while he was alive and still working and it only came out when he passed away Dr Banerjy himself told me about it and asked me to keep it quiet about it but I guess it's fine now, as it was put in the Hackney Gazette not long after. Banerjee went onto work in the Lower Clapton Health Center before retiring. Doctor Galander retired straight after the surgery in Amhurst was closed I believe. None of them is likely to be alive now, they were getting on but they were wonderful Doctors, from the old school of Doctors, if you know what I mean, with years of experience behind them. Hackney's not the same as it was back in those days of course but it's not as bad as some places. There are much worse places. The main problem is that the demographic is much younger now. In days gone by, when I was growing up in the 60s and 70s in Hackney, it was very much full of older, late middle-aged people like most of us here will probably be, who were more mature and sensible but now it's a younger, more immature demographic. It's the younger ones that tend to be involved in the shootings you hear about and the other crime. People are less likely to be doing that in their 50s and 60s and 70s etc but behind nearly every old person today, there is a story. I'm too old to be messing around now myself, I'm full of aches and pains, a harmless old man that nobody pays any attention to but I was a handful in my teens, in fact, in some ways I was WORSE than the kids today lol. Sometimes, we just forget, but if we're honest with ourselves, none of us is an angel, such is life. Thanks.
I remember all those wonderful doctors as I and my family were registered with them. Dr Collier was friendly with my stepfather John Wobey..I was told that Dr Collier came from a titled family.
@@shirleypete1956 I know. I can still see the surgery in mind though, with the wooden bench that patients sat down on waiting to be called in. It was scary but the Doctors themselves were always quite pleasant. I can't remember exactly which of the houses it was but all I can remember is that it was one of the old ones in Amhurst Road, opposite the newer Marcon Court. I was very young at the time and my late mother used to take me there sometimes, either for me or for herself.
Wow, thank you for compiling and sharing, I've seen a few photographs of Hackney, but there's many in this bundle I've never seen before. Thank you for discovering them. P. S do you have many photographs from Hackney wick, I was raised in the wick 62-89
Hi Brian,loved your videos,was born in Homerton,lived there till I was 19 so I recognise a lot of the pictures,I lived in Marian Court on Homerton High Street,do you have any pictures of it at all please? Thank you.
Tony Bates well... wouldn’t be so bad if I died nowadays, what have I got to live for? Dw I ain’t gonna commit suicide lol, That would just be embarrassing and the worst way to go possible I reckon. I want someone else to do the dirty work for me
Just sat through this with my 86 year old Mum, it brought back some great memories and made her day. Thank you

Lisa D.L yes that’s the one. Top of Lea Bridge road.
I went to Brook House but probably went way after you.
I think it was part of the Hackney college at some point in mid 90s called Brook House.
So many memories thank you x

I enjoyed reading this. I use to live on Amhurst Road.

@@shirleypete1956 I always thought Dr Collier bore a resemblance to the actor Jon Pertwee who played Dr Who back then, which was ironic.
@@JohnCashin It was such along time ago .
