dark days - noticed that 2 houses are for sale in my modest Hackney street, one at £950k for a 5 bed, the other which is across the road from my flat - a cool £1m and a bit I don't know who can afford to buy now (we bought in 97) but it will definitely change the nature of the area.

Can you sub me a tenner till payday...?

Yep, have seen this but thank you for the tag! There is a load of great footage around!

There is a food co-op run from the community centre on a Thursday now. Has been going as it is now for over 15 years.

I heard about this a while ago , it's almost on the roundabout , might be tempted to go, walking home from a gig is a good thing. Plus as I'm on the other side of the roundabout it won't keep me awake

Artists’ studios to be demolished as Hackney Wick development gets go-ahead
LLDC planning committee decides that the net harm to the conservation area is ‘acceptable’ and approves building of 120 homes


The Hackney Citizen
Wednesday 3 June 2015



Image of how Wallis Road might look.

A development in Hackney Wick that will see 100 artists up sticks and ‘heritage asset’ buildings pulled down has been given the green light.

The London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) has approved joint developers Groveworld and Pollard Thomas Edwards Architects’ (PTEa) application to demolish all existing buildings at 80-84 Wallis Road – with the exception of number 88.

i know it sounds unlikely but i worked for two years (as a part time accountant lol for a tiny IT co-op) on wallis road in that exact Daro building which is being redeveloped here ....wallis rd is only a short road that runs up to the canal opposite the olympic park.... the Daro building is an ex-factory thats sublet by the room, hence all the artists, but other neighbouring buildings are more consequential ----- theres a big car mechanics spot....theres the mighty Central Books (who started off distributing commie publications post war when no one else would, and now are a good indie distributor)....and theres a few other business too....

In fact Hackney Wick is basically an industrial estate on the other side of the canal from the pudding mill lane industrial estate (which became compulsory purchased and levelled for the olympic park)... there are a lot of business around hackney wick that are going to be feeling very vulnerable after this decision.

I just remember Wallis Road from malfaiteurs raves.

Yes indeed and Underground Sounds.
Hackney Wick was quite different back in those days, there was nothing much there apart from the small businesses and empty warehouses. It was really dead at weekends except for Sunday mornings when people were going to the car boot they used to have in Waterden Road.

Stephen Gill's photo book of the old hackney wick market is worth looking at (on google as it costs loads of money now it's out of print)

Just checked ebay for a copy.... I knew i should have got one when he first did it.

Field of Fridges in Carpenters Road and possibly a party in the grounds of the empty factory next door!

I was in Hackney Wick fairly regularly for work reasons about 10 years ago, when the 'regeneration' started taking off - i worked for a Housing Association that build some of the blocks there - it seemed a more interesting place before the Olympics and further regeneration tbf

 

[blossie33]

Is that the flats at the start of White Post Lane which side on to the railway line? An ex flatmate of mine got a flat there, shared ownership I think?
I remember the old commercial building that was there before, went to a party there!

Apparently for 3 weeks in August (8-30th) morning trains will not be stopping at Clapton Station until after 9.30 - to allow work to the Victoria Line to be completed apparently - which is a bugger as the station is a few minutes walk away from me, and very heavily used from about 7am to 9:30

Feds got attacked by party goers in masks in Stoke Newington last night . There was a police chopper above last night for ages .

Yeah this was round the corner from my place (never got an invite, bah)

The helicoppers were right above my flat for a while. I'm wondering if it will prove to be a one off...

In other news a naked man was arrested parading about Clapton this afternoon. Do you know anything about that, marty21 ?

I couldn't even read past the first unbelievable line...

A 400-strong masked mob attacked police with bottles and bricks after a party in north London spiralled out of control.

400 strong, masked mob? Orly?

I did stagger back over Hackney Marshes in the wee hours following both Urbs Gin Picnic and rum-fuelled school reunion, but I'm pretty sure I kept my clothes on .
