How many of us remember the incredible Sunday Market in the old greyhound stadium in Hackney Wick? Absolutely anything went on there. It was a kind of lawless, non policed, unregulated market - with just about everything on sale.
Well - Stephen picked up an old camera from the market - and then started taking pics of the actual market with it. Many of us have seen his exhibition & bought the book (available from http://www.stephengill.co.uk/) and are still proud to call him one of our own.
Anyway - click on this link http://vimeo.com/16768040 to see him actually talking about the making of this collection of pics. It's fascinating!
We all love Hackney Wick - and want to see our lives here improve day by day.
By contributing to this blog we will all feel as if we have a say in how we want our neighbourhood to be.
Of course we could all use it as a whinge blog to whine on about the rubbish collections or cars parked on the sidewalk - BUT - how about we all use it to make our lives a lot more positive?!
How about we all use it to organise litter pick-up days, or comunal barbeques in the green opposite St Mary's, or meetings to get Hackney Council to change something, or to put pressure on the Olympic Delevery Authority to deliver a Legacy appropriate to us? Anything!!
Please, please, PLEEEEEZZZZZZ feel free to add comment, share news, show photos, invite neighbours, etc to this blogsite.
