A voice for Hackney since 1967

Lost Hackney (out of print)

By Elizabeth Robinson

Hackney once possessed many fine buildings which have now disappeared, and many of them have been forgotten. This is an account of Hackney’s lost architectural heritage, recorded through a series of rich and evocative illustrations – photographs, engravings, maps and architectural drawings.

 

The historical context of each building is described as well as the date of demolition and the subsequent use of the site. More than a description of the buildings which are lost, this book also encourages an appreciation of our existing architectural heritage.
