Grief, that pic is dark. Was likely trying for some sort of gothic look, which would have worked better when the place was derelict and had a tree growing out of the roof. Sadly don't have a pic from then. Will fix it shortly, anyway.

Hi, I was born within the shaddows of the Hackney Hospital living at 63 Mabley St for 35 years, actually buying the house in 1964, then moving to Essex for 5years, before coming in 1974 to New Zealand. My visits back home, always leads me to walking around the old locality with nostalgia, and a visit I had in 1995, I witnessed the closing of the old Hackney Hospital, and I have a pix showing the tree growing in the guttering of one of the towers that accommedated the ablutions. Hacney Hospital played a big part in the lives of my family; my three children were born there. I was admitted there right on the last day of the war,(VJ day,)and having to watch from the window the festivities going on in my street below. Most of my extended family were treated in the Hackney Hospital for one thing or another, my mother dying there in 1945. After 1945 the high wall around the outside of the hospital. Kenworthy Road/Homerton High St, that like all London buildings were blackened with ages of soot, was scrubbed clean with what I believed was pumice stone. How long it took I cannot recall, but it must have been months No waterblasters in those days Ray Jones,6 October 2005

Hi folks, split out 'historical homerton' and commenced writing - requires sub-editing and completion - but the task is begun! Kevin Thompson, July 31st 2006

Joseph Priestley

Some of the information given here, together with the ext link re plaques, has now been added to the Joseph Priestley article itself. The brown plaque at the corner of Clapton Passage and Lower Clapton Road seems to be just about visible on Google Street View. It's above the sign for "Danny's Motor Shop" at co-ords 51.5523, -0.0526. But would the house at 113 Lower Clapton Lane have had the same address in 1791? Does anyone have access to any maps of that period? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:05, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
