I’ve been getting on well with my walk round Homerton, but it’s taking an age to properly research and write up.

I have, though, discovered a cache of fascinating films that have been put online by the Hackney Archives Department. You can find all of them here, but the one that has been of greatest interest to me so far has been this one of a slum clearance.

Note: It’s easy to find on the site linked to above - I’ve removed the clip from this page as the QuickTime was crashing some PC browsers.
