Central Hackney area of London in 1870-1893 in a series of exceptionally detailed reproductions of old Ordnance Survey street plans for areas of larger cities which have undergone substantial redevelopment in the late 19th or the early 20th century, published in the Alan Godfrey Editions. The plans, printed in back & white, have been taken from the original Ordnance Survey mapping at 1:1, 056 & reproduced at 1:1, 760 – the equivalent of 36 inches (or one yard) to a mile. The maps provide an unrivalled, house-by-house picture of streets & individual buildings with inner courtyards, outbuildings, pavements, covered passages, etc. Many important institutions are named; within the National Galley on Trafalgar Square even the individual rooms (the map is from 1871, so no French Impressionists as yet!). On the reverse are historical notes about the area covered by the map, plus extracts from contemporary street directories. These maps provide a fascinating addition to Alan Godfrey’s huge series of some 2, 000 titles presenting reproductions of street plans at taken from the Ordnance Survey mapping at 1:2, 500 (25” to 1 mile) & reprinted at about 15 inches to one mile (1:4, 340). ...

Located in east London just north of The City, Hackney has a long history stretching back to Tudor times. During the 1980s when Berris Conolly took these photographs it was an area in decline. This was a decade of turmoil in both national & local politics with issues of social justice never far from the headlines. Today the concerns increasingly revolve around the gentrification of areas of the borough & the disparities of wealth that this exemplifies. Berris Conolly photographed the places that he knew & that formed his everyday environment. Using the A-Z, he walked, cycled or drove down every street, marking off the grid squares as he went. There was no conscious or formal theme to the project, other than to record mainly the streets & buildings rather than people, though inevitably people did start to appear in some of the images, either as figures in the landscape, or frequently at their own request. Often he would set up the tripod to take an empty scene & passers-by would ask to be photographed, possibly drawn by the sight of a large camera & tripod. ” Are you from the local paper?” was a common question. The resultant archive comprises over 1500 images. ...

Hackney, That Rose-Red Empire

Hackney, That Rose-Red Empire is Iain Sinclair’s personal record of the area of London in which he has lived for forty years. Fusing fact and fiction, Sinclair seeks to document the traditional spirit of Hackney and to capture the essence of the place, as he has known it, before it succumbs to perfidious green papers, eco exaggerations, sponsored public art and the Olympic Park snapping at its heels. Varyingly described as a comprehensive and intricate historical map of a book, a maze of symbols to interpret, a twisted love letter to the borough and a memoir of dizzying associations, Hackney: That Rose-Red Empire is a message in the bottle of a book, flung into the flood of the future.
