I grew up in the prefabs in Wattisfield Rd 1954 to 1964, then Frampton Park Estate, Well St. Now live in the Philippines with wife, 3 kids. Hackney not the same like most things. Miss eating pie and mash in Chatsworth Rd with my late mum. David
Born in Hackney and as a boy use to collect the cups for the tea house on Clapton Common. I have been living in Australia for 55 Years now and these photos brought back a lot of great memories Thank you Brian
The LEB in Lower Clapton..haha. I bought my first fridge freezer from them in 1981 when I was 18. Felt so grown up with my own flat and new fridge. Happy days👍
Wonderful collection. My Granddad drove those trams, and I am 82 years young now. He passed away too young in 1942. aged 62. Many thanks for sharing these. They have evoked wonderful memories from my childhood and and right up to the present day where a daughter lives at the south side of London Fields. I will always love Hackney. A great Aunt had a shop there in the early 1900s too. You can't beat the East End of London for the character of the place and many born and raised there, Cockneys through and through.
Absolutely amazing. I am 80 years old and grew up in Cazenove Rd and then after marriage in 1964, lived for many years in Osbaldeston Rd, until we moved to a flat in Stamford Hill, 16 years ago. I wonder how you managed to collect these beautiful pictures. I remember the party just after the war in Cazenove Rd, with hundreds of tables. I still remember a show there with a woman in a box, pretending to be sawed in half.
I was about 2 years old (@1968), moved to Fawcett Estate, Upper Clacton Road, just up from Clapton Common... what a playful childhood I had. Went to Harrington Hill primary school, Springfield Boys Club too. Great memories looking back at these photos. Thank you Brian for the upload 😊
Ain't it funny how time just slip away from yesterday, Looking into the pass and seeing how time's have moved on in these picture and all those that have pave the way for us all gone and the music in the background surly make your tears falls as your heart beat faster.
I've lived in Homerton for nearly 45 years. Some of these images gave me a lump in the throat and brought back some beautiful memories. 'I'm from Hackney', I'll always be able to say that! Absolutely brilliant video mate, you took me there mate!
Hackney born and bred also. Great photos thanks for uploading. I grew up just off lower Clapton road. So many changes to what was a brilliant place growing up. Then the drugs and badness just took over which once was a brilliant place. The whole of the east end will never be the same. Oh well. Thanks for the video.
Fascinating "…can’t thank you enough……I’m 98, lived in n16, went 2 north Hackney central school from 1936……good long term memory! More please?? Thank you so v v much xxxxxx. Judy.(nee Franks) Sumray
Alum Ali I lived at Hackney downs park in the mid seventies till 1982. Went to millfield school & Hackney downs school. Seeing these pictures bring back childhood memories.

loved seeing my hackney as it was as a child mum dad also new it all my familly from eastend thanks mate
Marvellous, especially in these times. Born in Hackney hospital 1957, grew up in Birchington house, pembury estate until 1974, then Chatham place. The nags head on Hackney road and the three sisters, I would not change a thing. Thanks for posting.
I lived in Elderfield Road from 64 to 94. Elderfield Road was off Chatsworth Road and we used to do all our shopping there. Brings back great memories.
I was born in Hackney and lived in Daubeney Road - not far from Hackney Marshes. As a boy I played, with many others, in the abandoned Anti Aircraft emplacements on Hackney Marshes near Temple Mills Marshaling Yard. Had my first piano lesson with Miss Jones in Elderfield Road at 1/6d for half a hour. Many very happy memories.
Iwas in born at dalston and spent most of my time at hackney until comeing to oz in 67 my three children were born at homerton hospital l worked at gunners butcher shop at Bethnal green road l still have fond memories of those days I love these videos more of them please
I lived off Upper Clapton Road (Mount Pleasant hill) for a few years, down near the woodyard along from the Hope & Anchor when Les M.B.E. ran it, would watch the narrow boats pass by, walk along the toe-path to the marina, walk across the marshes before they were drained for the Olympics, its a great part of London full of interesting places and people, many of the buildings in the old photos were still there when I was there in late 1980s-1990s, Clapton pond was full of shopping trolleys and McDonalds rubbish with the odd duck,
Arthur Toms Pie & Mash shop in Chatsworth Road. When it closed it was the beginning of the end of the Market. My nan worked there. Pie & Mash 10 old pennies!
wow that brought back much memories. i grew up on Glenarm road in the 70's and went to both infants and primary Rushmore rd school (Hello Miss May, Mrs Walkinshaw and Mr Thompson😊🥛🍪). I really like the backing music on this video very soothing. Thank you for sharing this 🥰💯
I lived in Hackney Wick and Spent most of it over Victoria Park or on the Bomb sites not the same now changed for the worst,But at least we have our memories.
Born and bread in Bow off the Roman.best playground ever, ending with doing business there,in the blood you see. Wonderful memories of some wonderful honest people.many thanks for some great footage,I am now 93 and live in Dorset,but never forget the past .
My brother in law is from Hackney. Born mid forties but moved to Warwickshire and is still married to my sister. His name is Steve Arkell. Anyone remember him
Thank you for posting. I lived in Mandeville Street in the early 60s. I don't miss the dampness or the outside toilet, but it would still be nice to visit the old places from time to time.
Im looking for old photos of Preston's Road Poplar where I lived for a year or so in 1952-1953 hoping to put together a memoir at the old age now of 70......no nostalgia it was an awful place but my parents managed to get out to the slums of Paddington and from there........
What is that lovely music called ? It sounds like Ennio Morricone, spaghetti western music ?....... Got it, Once Upon A Time In The West Theme, very cool.
It was great seeing all the places my husband and I grew up and played in but it would have been 100 times better if the writing was in black, bigger and not over the photo, and even better if the photos could could have been manually moved along so that all the info was
I'm from Hackney and I disagree. Keeping up with all the changes can be difficult for us oldies but it's worth the effort because, otherwise, we just turn into grumpy old gits.
i lived in wick road opposite bakewell the green grocers next to toms cafe great place to live back in the day' worked as a bookies runner for pat gittens before the betting shops arrived

Anyone know when that St Thomas Church pic was taken at 1:42 in the video. Or could hazard a guess? Around 1910-1920 perhaps?
