The Hackney Wick London Overground bridge crossing the Lee Navigation, a canalised river incorporating the River Lea. It flows from Hertford Castle Weir to the River Thames at Bow Creek. Its first lock is Hertford Lock and its last Bow Locks, (the name of which always causes a titter)
The driver of Go-Ahead's Ee14, on the 106 to Finsbury Park Station, livens up the trip with a bubble blower- maybe he's a West Ham fan?
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.
London Borough of Hackney, North London, Greater London, England - Hackney Empire Theatre, Mare Street

The colourful building was recently built on the site of Lesney's factory where they made the Matchbox toys. There used to be 120 football pitches here in the 1960s but now there are 80 - home to dozens of amateur Sunday League football clubs as well as rugby and cricket teams.

The date 17th April 1982. The location Hackney Yard Newton Abbot. The train 43021 & 43020. The service 1314 Paignton to Paddington.
Hackney yards were pretty much run down by this point. The days of seeing freight after freight train lined up and being split or resembled after climbing the Devon Banks were over.
The semaphores only had a couple more years left.
Nowadays all the tracks are lifted bar two lines and its a big open empty space.
Hackney Diamonds sind die Glassplitter, die man im Londoner Stadtteil Hackney wegen der vielen Autoaufbrüche wohl häufig auf den Straßen findet. Das letzte Album der Rolling Stones ist danach benannt. Spoonful haben die Stones m.W. aber nie gespielt. Diese "Diamanten" stammen aus Berlin - auch hier sind sie leider nicht selten.
Hackney Diamonds are the shards of glass that are often found on the streets of the London borough of Hackney due to the many car break-ins. The Rolling Stones' last album is named after them. As far as I know, the Stones never played Spoonful. These "diamonds" come from Berlin - unfortunately they are not rare here either.

The closed 'Firmback Works' in Hackney, East London. March 2019.
This factory, alongside the Regent's Canal, belonged to the makers of Cintique furniture. They were established in 1908 to produce high grade, firm back, frames for chairs and settees, eventually making complete furniture in future years.
Gruesomely, the site was a former Victorian House of Correction for women. The premises were then used as The King Edward Industrial School for Girls before the site was taken over by the furniture manufacturers prior to 1920. The furniture factory closed many years ago.
I found this photo from Nov 2010 in my archive - it was never uploaded.
These are not here anymore. Regents Canal.
