Hackney Wick, London E9, is a run-down industrial area on the borders of the London Boroughs of Hackney,Tower Hamlets and Newham; which was once little-known outside the immediate vicinity and rarely visited by outsiders. However it lies just a stone's throw from the Olympic Park and now being revitalised by artists and creative enterprises.
THis is the point where the Hertford Union Canal, built in the 1830s as a short-cut from the Regent's Canal at Bow, meets the River Lea Navigation. The new flats are built on an area known as 'Fish Island' as the streets in the largely industrial area are named after freshwater fish.
This was in Well Street, Hackney next door to Ann's Hair Fashions, it was taken in 2003. I really like the small white (well they probably were once) mosaic tiles with the random darker coloured tiles around the base. I think it is probably a 50s/60s detail - there used to be a great example of this on the post office on Shoreditch High Street - its no longer there I'm afraid
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 Opened in 1865, it was used by passenger trains between Broad Street and Poplar until the service was withdrawn in 1944, although the tracks were not lifted until 1966.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.
Hackney Downs opened as a public park in 1884 and is one of Hackney's major green spaces. The park is in the geographical heart of the borough and has a wide range of newly refurbished facilities. The park holds a Green Flag award. The awards are given to the best green spaces in the country and are awarded each year to make sure the quality of the green space remains high.

Hackney Empire Theatre, London. Designed by Frank Matcham and opened in December 1901, the Empire was equipped from the start with a projection box for films. The principal use was as a Music Hall, but the large stage allowed for opera and spectacular pantomimes. It initially seated a claimed 3,000 (1,900 is likely more accurate) on four levels, now it seats just over 1,000 in a more comfortable layout. Used as a TV studio in the 1950s and converted into a bingo hall in 1963, the theatre somehow survived drastic alteration, and was able to reopen for live shows in 1984. With developers circling, the freehold was acquired, allowing planning for a thorough restoration to begin. It closed in 2001 as a massive expansion (taking in the corner public house and rebuilding the stage house) and restoration which lasted 3 years, the Empire reopened in 2004 (architect Tim Ronalds). It is a grade 2* listed building. Taken on the Open City Festival viewing.
