Great interview and history from Brian, straight from Lower clapton Hackney E5
I'm from india ( Bombay)
I had visited London in 2019 and I stayed in Hackney near lower Clapton pond for a month.
I felt as if I was back home.
I visited many places in London but I think Hackney is the best area to stay.
Loved playing cricket at millfields cricket ground.
❤️
I had to laugh about the Pink Paraffin man ringing the bell down the street ........... when i was little and the Paraffin man came down the street ringing his bell we would all call out " BRING OUT YOUR DEAD " ....... He wasn"t very happy ..... Great interview
I am not as old as Brian but I do share some of those memories of his. I was sent as a little boy with our paraffin jerry can to buy 2 gallons of pink or blue paraffin and struggle all the way back home with it. Hackney has changed immensely.
I remember doing exactly that in the 1970's. I remember the struggle 😄.
