Writing in the 1890s Benjamin Clarke a local doctor, recalled the Hackney of his childhood. So popular did his articles in one of the local papers prove that they were published in book form in 1894. With its mixture of local history and Clarke's own vivid memories of the area, the work has remained essential reading for anyone interested in the hackney that preceded the Victorian developers. This new edition has a short biography of the author and notes to enable the modern reader to step back with Clarke to the time when Hackney and Stoke Newington were villages on the edge of London. Suitable for those interested in pre-Victorian London. ALL PROCEEDS GO TO CHARITY. (C2).
