I think most of the above have now gone.

Ann's Hair Fashions was in Well Street Hackney (London E9) near to Tescos. It closed down at the end of 2008 which is a pity as it was was my favourite shop front. I took this picture in 2003.

From The 1000 Year Swim:
"Public swimming pool and baths. 1894-97. By Edward Harnor and Frederick Pinches. Portland stone front with slate roof ...
A major programme of modernisation was carried out in the early 1990s. The baths retain numerous features of interest as well as a handsome frontage, and are listed as a building of special interest, embodying late Victorian civic concern for the promotion of cleanliness and fitness."

Hackney Empire is a grade II* listed building. The theatre was built as a music hall in 1901, designed by the architect Frank Matcham.
Charlie Chaplin, WC Fields, Stanley Holloway, Stan Laurel and Marie Lloyd all performed there, when the Hackney Empire was a music hall.
ATV bought the theatre to use as studios in the 1950s, and shows such as Take Your Pick and Oh, Boy! were broadcast live. Certain episodes of Opportunity Knocks were also filmed at the theatre. Some scenes from Emergency - Ward 10 were also filmed there. From 1963 to 1984 the theatre was used by the Mecca Organisation as a bingo hall.
In 1984, Mecca found the building too expensive to maintain as a bingo hall, and it was offered to C.A.S.T, a satirical touring theatre group, headed by Claire and Roland Muldoon, as a London base. They also mounted successful variety nights headlined by a new breed of alternative comedy acts, such as Ben Elton, Dawn French, and Jennifer Saunders.
The theatre was threatened with demolition, and in 1986, actor-manager Roland Muldoon mounted a campaign to acquire the freehold and to re-open the Hackney Empire as a permanent performance space; allowing the theatre to return to theatrical use for its 85th anniversary.
Our reporter 'Loopzilla' attended the recent opening of the giant Robbo Extra Shop at Westfield, Stratford, London. The superstore carries an astonishing range of products, some of which have not ever been seen before, including a new range of ladies handbags and Team Robbo silk ties. All the staff are highly knowledgeable and there are several 'two for one' opening offers on prints. State of the art external scanners located close to the car park, make internal racking almost pointless, but we did notice a few old-fashioned CCTV cams in the street art section, which is a new attraction in the Extra stores and should help widen the appeal of this household brand.
