The Hackney and Newham History Social Club

Can you name all the shops on Kingsland High Street? Where in Newham was “de shed in de park”? When did Charlie Chaplin meet Gandhi? Why are the plants in Dalston's CLR James Library fake?

If you want to find out and discover more about Hackney and Newham in the past, listen to our launch episode which explains who we are and the type of heritage stories that The Hackney and Newham History Social Club is hoping to tell.

The Hackney and Newham History Social Club is presented by Sue Elliot-Nicholls.
