The streets of Stoke Newington in the late 1970s were very different than what we know today. Mark Barnes, who grew up in Stoke Newington until 1980, became increasingly interested in photography and began recording local scenes, especially the many abandoned or interesting cars in the area, from the age of seventeen when he bought a second hand Yashica Lynx. In this talk, Mark shares some of the photos he took around Stoke Newington in the late 70s.
Mark Barnes has worked in the media since 1975 where he has specialised in photographic archives for longer than he cares to remember. He is published author with books, print media and online work under his belt in addition to working as a freelance photographer. He lives in Essex.
EXCELLENT AND MANY THANKS FOR DISPLAYING YESTERYEARS . BROGHT BACK MANY MEMORIES .
Thank you very much for these photos.
I went to school in church st William Patten and remember church St just like this in the early 80s, especially Wincops timber. Used to live on the high st. Bought back many fond memories of stoke newington, its all changed now, and i now live in peterborough
Cheers to ya fella, Im also a born and bred Stokie boy, so thanks for the memories.
I was born in Stoke-Newington just after WW2. Went to William Pattern, and then to Woodberry Down Comp. We lived for many years in Lordship Road and Clissold Park was our playground. Thanks for this very interesting video, it bought back so many happy memories of a great (if very poor) childhood. x
Brilliant, nudged many memories 👏🏻
I found that very interesting, thanks! Also good to hear someone local worked at the Melody Maker. Some of us never got away, we still live here, though when you come back you'll find it has all changed hugely with gentrification.
Brilliant podcast I’m from Stokie, remember some of these buildings as a kid in the 1970s/ teenager in the 1980s, got to look out for more of your videos, Wicked.
Great blast from the past... I went to Grazebrook school in the 70's and my brothers went to St Marys where my mum worked as a support teacher. Her name was Mrs Brookes.
Lived in Barbold rd, Bethune Rd, Filey Ave and then move to Amhurst rd in 1978. I remember thinking at the time that I much prefered to live in Stokey than Hackney. Although now live in Devon.
Wow what a walk back down memory lane
I lived up the road from you but was a bit younger - 83 Church street late 60's , moved the the estate where the tall block was early 70's.
Tall block gone but a lot of the lower estate still there (opposite Clissold Park)
Not boring at all, when you're from there it all brings back memories, for example I was born in Bethune road and remember church street very well and of course Clissold park, nice one!
I remember the Grey Green Coach garage not the travel bit though but my memories are more 80s as i was born in 79 i lived in the flats to the right . i dont live in Stoke Newington no more but know on the site of Grey Greens is a housding estate Supermarket is slightly more to the left of where this picture is taken
Milton Grove! -Grasmere School (61-71) fond, fond memories (Clissold Park with Peacocks and swans in the pond..... Ah, Good old days...)
I remember that old man's pond at the front,
My Grandparents lived in Laburnum house, late1950's thru to mid 1960's, both were Stoke Newington Councillors' I lived in a co-op house on QE walk during 81/82 (under licence from Hackney Council) used to climb over the park fence usually 5am ish to teach Jive to Spanish travellers
Fascinating photos. Which bands did you see at The Rochester? The Jam? XTC?
saw a few there, worked in Woollies opposite (1977) Punk was in it's 'mainstream infancy' if i remember right the Jam had just released their 1st album, 'in the city'. i didn't like them then and was robbed of my money, lol. They eventually grew on me.
Well done, do you drink in the rochester? Love to meet 31. Aug.
