Photo probably taken about 1930. Location uncertain, but possibly in Woods Park, Wellington. In the center are OJ and Magdalena (Lena) Hackney, who homesteaded on a hill above the Slate Creek Valley in 1871. They met and married in Mt. Pulaski, Illinois. Family picnic in Wellington at Wood's Park.

Hackney used to be the epicentre of hardcore punk with the Hackney Hell Crew being one of the most notorious group of punks around.
All of which strangely has nothing to do with this new Eine piece 'Hell' found in Hackney.

Completed in 2002, this building alongside Hackney Town Hall houses Hackney Central Library, Hackney Museum, the Hackney Archives and the offices of the Hackney Learning Trust.
The Eastern Curve is the course of a railway line that once linked Dalston Junction to Hackney. Opened in 1865, it was used by passenger trains between Broad Street and Poplar until the service was withdrawn in 1944, although the tracks were not lifted until 1966.
The route of the curve has not been built over, and when Dalston Junction was rebuilt provision was made so that the Eastern Curve could be reinstated in the future should it ever be desired (there are currently no plans to do so). In the meantime part of the curve has been given over to a Community garden, a much-needed facility in this deprived and crowded area of London.
I've only just found out that Hackney Wick station is technically in Tower Hamlets, but I'm letting that go - it belongs to Hackney Wick...
Located on the Hackney family homestead southeast of Wellington in Sumner County, Kansas. O.J. and Lena Hackney were among the earliest arrivals in the Wellington vicinity, homesteading here in 1871. O.J. (my great-grandfather) was the first postmaster of the city, and for many years was revered as the "watchdog of the city treasury."
There is no indication on the photo when this picture might have been taken, but I would guess some time before 1920. The house I remember from the 1950s had some of these features, but was different, so don't know if they added on or rebuilt. Sadly, the old family place is gone. However, the white lilac and a tamarac bushes that Great-grandmother Lena brought by train from her garden in Mount Pulaski, Illinois, still grow and blossom.
[These have now gone, who knows where?]
This roof at St John's, Hackney, provided some minimal protection against the elements for those clapped up in the Hackney parish stocks. It would be interesting to know when these were last used, and what became of the stocks themselves.
Only just realised what this was (it looks like an old lych gate) from being told what the similar structure was at Shoreditch (the latter has been since removed, I assume to a museum).

Hackney 'A' originally opened in 1901 and completed commissioning in 1938. In 1968 it had two 10 MW and two 30 MW Parsons sets supplied with steam at 400 psi from five chain grate fired Simon Carves boilers.
