Clapton and Hackney Photo Slide

[@andrewockenden]

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.

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

[@philgray7320]

Same as me !! I was born in Hackney in 1960, and ended up going to Australia in 2001, its great to see these old pics to bring back those memories.

[@garyandrewranford]

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 😊

[@reubenroo]

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👍

[@michaelnelson3876]

I love Hackney . grew up there definitely the best place in London. 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿

[@dovlev3636]

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.

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.

[@bluebell2247]

[@Alpinatom]

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.

[@bluebell2247]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@marichuvinas6848]

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

[@sicks6six]

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,

As a boy I played, with many others, in the abandoned Anti Aircraft emplacements on Hackney Marshes near Temple Mills Marshaling Yard.
