Oh wow. Love this. Life long hackney resident. Makes me want to walk the streets as they were in the past just so incredible seeing these pictures. I love my Hackney. Any Claptonians around on these comments?
I used to drive the 178 Bus Clapton Pond to Stratford and the 108 Clapton Pond to Bromley by Bow in the late 60's from Dalston Garage Shrubland Road. I lived in a dingy one bed flat (rent £4-10-6p per week) in Balls Pond Road Dalston and in 1970 my wife, son and myself left London for good and although I loved watching the video, which brought back lovely memories, I will never return
Thank you Brian❤️ Beautiful memories! Came to London March 1986, the council estates, the Buses, the phone box, the markets, the arcades, Kingsland school, London field, too many to list! Hackney our 3 generation! Hackney❤️❤️❤️
Can Hackney people tell me a bit about E2 8LN part of Hackney please? I have seen a flat but not sure if it’s worth it. I heard Hackney is a rough place? Please let me know. Thank you 🙏🏼
Before me and my friends went swimming we would have a look at the pets in the pet shop, funny how I can remember that like it was yesterday. Fun times
Thank you for all the hard work researchging the photos and putting them into the presentation. I lived in Balls Pons Road, Dalston for my first 17 years from 1941.
Nightingale Estate. Lived with my parents in Rachel Point (1976-1981) then had my own flat in Embley Point until 1989. Weird but nice to see these places again. Cheers!
I was born in Bethnal Green Dinmont Estate 1942 these pictures are brilliant and bring back some great memories like PIES AND MASH in Cooks and the pet shop in Broadway Market still think about the way they used to have live eels outside Cooks, unfortunately the area has changed since considerably since then
Seeing the Vanner Shoe shop 36:09 and remembering going in there with mum to get my school shoes over the years really did stir some heartfelt nostalgia and memories of a more innocent age. Before she died I would laugh when I heard my old mums thoughts on the " good old days " when asked... Her version was, we were poor & struggling, Ignorant as sin, & after visiting my uncle in Canada & going on holiday to Spain all in the same year, it kind of made a mockery of her & dad spending a weekend honeymoon in Scarborough & then waiting 11yrs before having their first 2 week holiday in Hastings. The good old days were not for everyone's taste😇.
Does anyone remember the pig that belonged to the pet shop in mare street? Would walk up and down the high street! And the cows at whips cross roundabout? The cattle grids are still there!
I remember the pig think around the mid to late 70's . Was it Morning lane off Mare street? It was known to walk down Morning lane.

@ I moved away in 1975 august. The eels I used to poke before going inside for my staple,, loved pie n mash. Normally Dalston, Well st or Roman road mainly. Fond memories of Mare st. Learned to swim at Kings baths. Schooled in Well st & Chatsworth rd. Five tower blocks in Daubeny rd and I lived in the only one still standing, was Sudbury court back then. Played footy on the marshes. Saturday morning pictures in Mare st. I could go on,, happy days.

The strange part of this new modern world is that we now have less, hospitals, schools, cinemas and pubs all but gone, old landmarks, buildings and shops disappeared, replaced by high rise flats and streets bumper to bumper with cars.
Amazing pictures, what memories. I was born and lived in Victoria Park Road the first 25 years of my life. I also went to Hackney Downs school so I know most of the places in the photos well. Does anyone recall a pub named Swiss Cottage corner of Lauriston and Wetherall road around 1950's? I've been trying to find a photo of that but no luck so far.
Hi Peter My mum lives on Victoria Park Road now since 2010 but we've been living in Hackney since I was born in the early 80s, in the Clapton area. What were the 50s like around there?
@@RyanX1899 Good heavens, what a question. I could write a book on that subject. My first living memory was my dad taking me along Victoria Park Road just past the Lauriston Road roundabout and sitting on his shoulders while the Queen drove past on her Coronation visit of east London almost 70 years ago, and being taken on a London tram, the last week the tram service ran,, and the London smogs, which were so thick you couldn't see across the street, and cars and buses were just two while circles of their headlights. Actually Hackney was reputed to be quite rough but I didn't find it so, except for the bombsites in almost every street which were hoarded off but all the kids used to climb into and play. There was a time when I could have pointed out every climbable tree in Victoria Park.
@@PeterWTaylor Oh wow! You rode on the tram! I've always wondered what that was like. Of course I'd never seen one but I'd frequently walk past the Clapton tram depot, it's a photography studio now and been various things over the years. But seen so many old pictures of trams and old buses. Oh please write a book Peter I would 100% buy it even if it was just your memories of growing up in Hackney, the sights, sounds and smells at the time, I believe you can self publish on Amazon and sell through Kindle if you did actually write a book ;)
Hi, please forgive me if some-one has already said but at 8.30 the shot states that it is Gainsborough Rd Primary. I went to that school and it was known as Berkshire Rd Primary. Gainsborough was actually in Eastway when I attended there. Not "knit-picking" because I think your site is incredible, certainly to me growing up in the Wick. Thank you for all you do.
Lived in Hackney in 78/79 at the now demolished Havelock Arms pub. Went to Gayhurst primary and remember playing in the street outside Dalston bus station. Sadly no photos of those times.
I used to live on Hackney Road from 2013-2016. Wonderful video. It’s sad to me how it’s changed so much over the years and not for the better in my opinion. I feel that way about most of England though.
In that first photo of Clapton Passage. I have seen it before but I always thought those people standing there were local residents of the day rather than builders. They don't really look like they were dressed for building work, waistcoats, bowler hats etc but perhaps I am wrong. Maybe builders dressed like that back then? 😕
@@bluebell2247 its beter to walk away with your soul than be consumed by other laziness, i pad 400 quid for the house,,i bought it from a pal who lived ther untilthey found a dead body buried under the basement.. a pal once observed of property. that house was hungry for souls and it almost ate mine.. got a lot of both those house's i had 36 and 38 :) i was over blessed on the property front still ma,, but i no longer live in a war zone.. got tired of the kids with shit aim killing the park users,,also need the lazier of my pals to get thier finger out for themselves served a good purpose though. it was A Scottish Houshold, a jacobite household. we were exceedingly stoned mostif not all the time ran away from it to do a law degree. only to discover i was not dis honest enough to practice.....there a few books to be written about that time..not all of them tragedies. it was a primo shag pad !

Life can be such a miserable journey look how they have changed just like the people, yeah just like Jack the Ripper they're all stabbing each other in the streets in 2021 all this effort for nothing only to end up with the uncivilised nation and if only God was come back and put right everything that has been done wrong I do wish everybody has a peaceful life and end up dying in a dignified way
