Sun Babies is a local charity that still exists and offers grants to playgroups, nurseries and primary schools in Hoxton area of Hackney.. This building is now part of Rosemary Works school on Regents Canal.
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 Opened in 1865, it was used by passenger trains between Broad Street and Poplar until the service was withdrawn in 1944, although the tracks were not lifted until 1966.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. This is the entrance on Dalston Lane, opposite Dalston Junction Station.

The other building in the picture is Hackney Old Town Hall.

I went on a guided walk around Hackney Wick with photographer Stephen Gill. The area has been under-developed for years but is now going through the greatest change since the Blitz because it is the site of the 2012 Olympics.
There's a show at the Hackney Museum and Library called "I Heart Hackney" where various Hackney luminaries testify on why they heart Hackney. Me? I heart Hackney because of the corrupt officials and dog shit in the streets.
The Hackney Mill was built by William Hackney in 1899. It was located on Turkey Creek near Concord Road and North Loop Road. The mill was not a conventional mill with a water wheel to supply power. The energy to run the mill came from a water turbine.
The mill sits on private property.
