So many particulars. So many questions.
Came across this pic of a hackney canal, love it. Hackney heads, are the gas storage frames still there? They got rid of the ones in northampton and I miss their skyline framing presence. Unneeded extra storage said the bods from govmnt.

Yes, the gasometers are still there I'm glad to say, there has been a battle to keep them due to a redevelopment of the site. The last time I was in the area it looks like the larger one is being incorporated into flats, like they did with the ones near Kings Cross.

Looks like a painting.
The mechanics we use for work is in Andrews Road on the north side of the canal and by chance I'll have to go there one day next week so I'll try to get some photos.

Yeah I've never got round to starting a TH thread, I just squat in this one.
There's a new development there just getting started, they're finished now. Pic is from 2019.

Always seems very busy? Also there is some good heritage for a new owner to arse about with - bands that played there and so on.

The oldest standing JD Wetherspoon pub - the Rochester Castle in Stoke Newington High Street - is set to go up for sale.

But it's easy to imagine that a new owner would put the prices up and I dunno where is left for the customers to go to that is nearby really.

Probably opposite hackney townhall which is not half as nice. And not really local.

Very sorry for all the locals that use it.
