Hackney Central
This is the view south from St Augustine's Tower in Hackney Central. The tower is all that remains of the old church of St Augustine, which was built at the end of the 13th century when Hackney was a village separated by fields from the City of London. Fast forward 8 centuries and the concrete urban sprawl has consumed and now fills the distance between the City and Hackney, which is now just another area of Inner London. The North London Line which arrived here in 1850 dominates the foreground, with Hackney Central station located just out of shot to the right. Direct Rail Services Class 66 No. 66433 passes by working 4L48 the Daventry to Purfleet Tesco intermodal train.
