Maine Avenue and Boardwalk – Atlantic City, NJ (1989)
The building shown in this shot was built in 1965 replacing the original restaurant destroyed by fire in September 1963. Unfortunately the restaurant did not endure the changing city and times -- Hackney's eventually closed.
D20917. The Grade II* listed Hackney Empire was opened in 1901 and is a splendid example of a late Victorian theatre. It was originally a music hall and many of the stars of the day performed there.
With the decline in theatre audiences in the post World War II period, it became a TV studio in the 1950s and then became a Bingo Hall in 1963. In 1984, however, it became a theatre once again, but narrowly avoided demolition in 1986.
It closed temporarily for a major refurbishment in 2001, reopening in 2004.

EartH (ex Savoy / ABC Cinema), Stoke Newington. The balcony area (now known as the Theatre - the sound desk in the centre used to be the main entrance to the circle. Designed by W R Glen for ABC, and opened as the Savoy in October 1936. It became the Konak Cinema in 1977 and the ACE in 1982 before closing in 1984. The stalls area was subsequently divided off as a snooker hall, and the balcony area was abandonded. In 2014 the snooker hall was transformed into a function area and in 2018 the cleaned and stabilised (rather than restored) balcony re-opened - both known as EartH (Evolutionary Arts Hackney) with a mixed programming including stand-up, music and films. The balcony area is now known as EartH Theatre and the stalls EartH Concert Hall, the former cafe and circle foyer is EartH Kitchen - cafe bar open during the day.

Stagecoach's monopoly of the Hackney Road routes is about to end, as First will be taking over the 26 from Saturday 25th June with brand-new Enviros. The previous evening sees Stagecoach 18205, an Alexander ALX400-bodied Trident, on route 26 leading a sister vehicle on route 55. Note the spire of St Leonard's Church, Shoreditch, in the background.
