wow the memories the music

born in insligton ,grew up in Debeauviour town just down the road
big up the person who choose the music
the croissant eating newbies are LATE
I was born in mother's hospital. Spent all of my childhood running after the 73 bus with my grandmother. The music brings back memories of dalston market. Bloody good days.
increadible images
My brother used to live there and I would often visit.
Really enjoyed looking at the pictures .
Only one problem too fast moving to read some of the captions.
Respect to the person who choose the music.
Thank you.
Absolutely superb mate. I was around at this time due to my job from the age of 18 and I maintain to this day that Stokey was where I "grew up". Make no mistake, my familial areas of "growing up" in London were no picnic from childhood, but doing a job that involved some enforcement of laws (not policing) in Hackney formed my life afterwards. Hackney is a magnet for me - I still go back to visit.
Born in mother's hospital, lived on Brooke road then moved to Barretts grove. Very nice memories.
Wow... I made this vid ... I was born in Mother's hospital and lived in Barretts Grove from about 1978 to 1993 at no 4
Born at Edwards Lane. Infant and primary school at St. Marys. Secondary school Daniel Defoe. Clissold park where I worked on the boating lake at weekends and school holidays in summer.
Met my late wife Glenda at the Park. Joyous times. Thanks for the memories.
I'm so glad I've managed to share images and memories with so many people. So sad for the loss of your wife Glenda. The most amazing thing was the people that lived in the area and looking back on how special they were despite us not having much compared to today's day. Keep well and stay safe Glen 😊
Raised & schooled in Stokey.
Lived most of my life in Albion Rd. Went to Clissold Pk Comprehensive. Best days of my life
Clissold Park School - Definitely the best days
@@rashidugradar8606 Ha, you were in my sisters class at Newington Green school in the 70's I believe. We lived in Albion Road too at number 12
This a beautiful record of a rapidly changing place with great music
Thank you - yes rapidly changing, but steeped in history and very fond memories of those that lived or grew up there through those years. The images depict everything I saw as a child.
Woww brings back good old memories,
Used to run the old shaheen cash n carry on the high street.
I'm sure I was in there picking up some "Just Juice" and Pitta Bread at some point back then
Ali shaheen everyone loved shaheens!
Fond memories of Shaheen’s! Moved here in 86 and Rashid sure brought back some memories. Thanks!
Great upload .. felt so nostalgic. Lived in Hackney all my life that’s nearly 49 years and it grieves me how it has all changed. Beautiful memories.
Thank you. Stokey and Hackney will always be a magical place for many of us. But magical for what it was and not what it is now.
..........the Borough has been 'gentrified' so it's a very expensive place to live these days.
Spent my whole life in Hackney during the 80s loved every single minute of it, why does it all have to change
I share the sentiment of loving every minute of it. The change has everything to do with money sadly.
Good stuff. Stoke Newington born and raised, grew up in 60s and 70s in Yorkshire Grove (now gone) just behind Stoke Newington Police station. Not lived there for years but still a Stokey boy...
So true..... If you grew up there, once a Stokey....... always a Stokey
@@rashidugradar8606 miss it so much, always be in my heart.
Definitely always in the heart. People won't understand, but that era will always be magical
Grew up on Yorkshire grove Estate in the 90s and that version is still there, though they have gated up the garages now. Which isn't a bad thing considering how they would be used now.
8:24 shows a young Bad Manners... they used to go to Woodberry Down School and Dougie their singer used to live on Kings Crescent Estate opposite Clissold Park
that was my childhood, living on a hackney estate in lister court, yoakley road, brings back a lot of memories of clissold park and surrounding areas.
Do you remember the Kingsmead estate
I was born in Mothers Hospital Lower Clapton, went Homerton House and did an apprentaship with hackney council in 1991. I just moved out of Hackney 2 years ago because I can't afford it there again, thanks for the nostalgia, and Lord Cecil Pub riddim lol
Great scenes, great music!
Such a nice place now thankfully.....👍
Great tunes!!!!
Great video, that is where I grew up. I recognise all these places very well. ps. Great music by the way, music I grew up with, cool.
OMG - I've just seen my grandad
Oh that must have been nice. Hope it pleased 😊
I grew up in nearby Shoreditch, went to college in Stoke Newington during the years 1978 - 1980. I cried. Thank you!
You're welcome, I'm moved that something I've done has touched someone - Only a person that lived that era in those surroundings would understand. It's nice to be able to share with people - Stay Safe JC.
@@rashidugradar8606 Oh yes it brought it all back, I remembered how boarded up everything was and also the metal fencing everywhere. But things had more character and people just wore what was comfortable without being in a uniform. A bit ramshackle, but gatherings and laughter were everywhere. I miss the Rastas, and the sound systems; walking down the street and hearing Music from shops and cars; I LOVE Reggae and Dub especially, I'm White and thank the fact that I was born and brought up here and was exposed to it early on, over 40 years of loving it! The Yuppies started moving into Hoxton Square in the early 90's and it was the beginning of the end!
Amazing , just like the sound track well done my man ……… ohhhhhhh the memories 😢😢
Thanks for the comment Ed. Just happy to have so many good memories and images I could share with people that appreciate that time and location and the people that lived there.
Wow that brought back memories of when we moved from Ireland. So sad what London has become ✌️❤️
Sad indeed 😞. On the surface, it seems that Stoke Newington has so much more than it used to. But can't help see it differently as we have lost so much. Glad you liked the vid 🙂.
Sorry, what London has become then?
SOOOOL a cortoprocy a shit hole for the rich. Our cultures been destroyed .
It has been completely destroyed to how I once knew it to be growing up in Stokey as a child. Completely gentrified by those ghastly yuppies moving in and destroying the fabric of what a fantastic place Stokey once used to be. I ended up feeling an outsider in my own area and feeling alien to what it had become due to gentrification. Clissold Park now runs the tennis courts by bureaucrats that never used to be the case. Yuppies are bad news wherever they go. Sorry but it’s true.
@@thedunya6173 speak the truth!
This brought back some memories. My grandparents (father’s side) used to live in 14 Stoke Newington Common and we visited regularly throughout the 60s and early 70s. The “Ban the bomb” graffiti at 2:09 stuck in my mind although as a small child at the time, I didn’t understand what in really meant.
Brought back some memories, especially the photo of the rear of Woolworths from 84. I was working there then and I used to have to open up those steel shutters at the start of the day. Thanks. Stokey was a great place to work in the 80s.
This is great
❤ this, thank you. Brings back memories from the 80s x
Its a lot better now. Looked like some blitz town before haha
Hi Rashid, that's great thank you!
Alan - you are a legend. I don't know whether you realised the impact and meaning to others of what you were doing back then. I often wish I'd taken more images of Stoke Newington from that era where I was born and brought up. It was magical and I'm sure myself and so many others are grateful to you for helping to preserve those memories.
This is bringing back some serious memories. For the first few months of my life I lived in Reighton Rd Clapton then we moved to Forest Gate. That was way back in 1981.
wow, i remember the yellow book bus🥰. Thanks so much for sharing and the backing songs 😁🍾🥂
wicked tunes,oh the memories
Was born in Denver Road in 1981 thanks for the great video so many great memories how times change. Oh the tunes as well 👍🏻
That's near Stamford Hill - I know it. Not too far from where Safeways used to be. Glad you liked the vid.
@@rashidugradar8606 it's in Stoke Newington just off the high street. Yh bro the vid give .e a lot of happy memories 👍🏻
Born on Evering Road and I miss it every day
Shame I am outpriced from moving back who would have thought 😂

Was always a piss hole
Nice
😊
first off....THE TUNES! SECONDLY, stokey common..one picture shows george downing estate(Alkham road)where i used to live! wot magical times....
Magical for sure. We had little compared to now but was a great era. People today will not understand unless you lived it.
I squatted in Clapton and lived in Stokey for a while, I've never been back, I doubt it will be the same now, At the squat the council gave us anything we needed to fix the place up, free window glass, locks for the doors and took our rubbish away, they took the attitude if we lived there it wouldn't fall to bits or get set on fire, the estate was the one just off Southwold road, it had 500 empty homes back then, no one would live there except us, got to say Hackney council was great to us back then, when the estate was eventually refurbished they left our house to last,
lots of places I lived big up bread bin :)
We must remember the power is within the people! Don’t be blinded by races issues, don’t let your attention be diverted by reality tv shows. If we all move with same consciousness, great things can be achieved, we only have a small amount of time on earth, be we transgress.
Great video piece of history but where is Fitzroy barbers.
Thanks - not sure where Fitzroy barbers was.
Caribbean barbers...yeah rings a bell...where was it
Fitzroy barbers was on Church Street opposite the fire station. My parents owned the Wavy Line food shop (57 Church St) and Fitzroy was a few doors up, next door to Dr Dalton's GP surgery.
I loved Stokie, I was at William Patten junior school and Clissold Park secondary back in 1980. I've got lots of fond memories of the area.
Thanks for the video and the tunes btw.
Original releases of the tracks #1 (1971), #2 (1984), #3 (1969), 4# (1985).
I miss Cockneys
Great record of the Stoke Newington I remember, and the music! Was the Samuel Beckett pub here anywhere? Used to see live bands there late 80's..
Those dangerous steps in Amhurst Road at 2:01are still there, albeit more overgrown and with a fence keeping people out now.
Rashid where did you get the photo of the 2 Chesholm Road squat (the one on the corner) myself and a friend opened that and lived there for quite a while.
Hi Keith, that image was from a group of photos a chap called Alan Denney took from his collection - He took pics of Hackney throughout the 70's 80's and 90's.
Not much traffic on the roads..... 🙃🇬🇧

Pre gentrification and silly haircuts
Speeds
The transitions are awful and distracting
