Life before gastro-pubs: a history of Hackney - in pictures

Garment factory, Shacklewell Lane, 1981.

East London in the 70s was raw and vivid,

with bombed-out houses, kids playing in the streets

and factories buzzing.

Photographer Neil Martinson was there

to chronicle the turbulent pre-gentrification era

Rachel Point, Nightingale Estate, 1974

 

Martinson lived with his parents

in Rachel Point in 1970.

 

Nightingale Estate

was the planners’ dream of the future.

 

‘It was so modern.

Except that within weeks of moving in,

the heating and lifts kept breaking down.

Even with its drawbacks it was,

for many people, an improvement on their previous homes

but what was missing was any sense of community.’

 

The first demolitions of the blocks started in 1998
