The Hackney One Carnival was even bigger this year, with 28 carnival groups, spectacular costumes, energetic dance, sound systems and live music from around the world.
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 Opened in 1865, it was used by passenger trains between Broad Street and Poplar until the service was withdrawn in 1944, although the tracks were not lifted until 1966.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.

These flats were opened by his widow the year following his death, presumably Stoke Newington Borough Council having named them in his honour.

Not that I knew it when I took the photo, but this shot proved to be quite useful for the 'save the date' cards for my wedding - which was at Hackney Town Hall, at 3pm, and we booked a Routemaster to ferry the guests to the reception.

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.
