Hackney.. my home!! The days when an adult bus fare cost 80p and a child 40p
That's expensive. I remember bus fare was 20p for adults and 10p for children. That's probably around the time this was filmed.
@@keepingitrealandtruthful.5081 was it that expensive? Was the uk in a recession or it was just normal?
@@keepingitrealandtruthful.5081 that was "fares fair" and existed 1978 to circa 1981
I remember when we used to be able to get a child travelcard for £2..
6 zones All Across London
@@keepingitrealandtruthful.5081 I remember when the conductor on the 38 bus used to come around and my mum used to pay our fare she used to say "adult and a half please". I used to be fascinated by the old fashion machine the 38 bus conductor used to use. Fond precious memories. Being a child in the 80s were the best.😂
nah but Hackney for real was rough back in the day but boy we loved it!
Isn’t it amazing how many positive memories we all have of Dalston and that general area.
It just shows that there was a real community and friendliness there even though none of us were rich. To see those shops and streets after all these years was a real pleasure. I used to wait at that bus stop by the mural to catch the bus to work. I bought my son’s cot in Family Care, and shopped in Ridley Road......It was always full of hustle and bustle. What a great video.
Mate, I think there's a lot of selective memories kick in aw you get old. Added to the fact that you're pretty naive when you're young. If there's ones thin that we know now about hackney back then is that there were some truly appalling things going on. Look up the Sidney Cooke gang and the "dirty dozen" one of whom was abusing kids from his stall in Dalston market
Wow, it's mind blowing seeing this. I've lived in Dalston for almost 20 years. All these shops are long gone. The only one that's still there is Argos, would you believe. That mural's still there too, of course.
Is most of this footage in dalston. I been there a bunch of times and I didn't recognise it
@@adonaiyah2196 Yes, this is Dalston. But it's really changed!
That mural is fantastic!!!! I see from the comments that it still exists---that is good news.
Memories of traveling on the 38 bus through Dalston into Central London as a teenager and young man back in the 80s - when the 38 was still based at Leyton Green. It, and the 48, used to be a lifesaver when the underground had problems and you needed to get back home from Central London. Furthermore, two of my best friends in secondary school in Highgate used to live by the 38 bus route in Islington.
R.I.P. the 48
@@alfiecdyson miss the 48...i life saver ...
Me too
😂😂😂@@alfiecdyson
Imagine Dennis brown was hanging around sandringham road studios them days rough days but good. Best reggae singer RIP.
This is 1987.. The Peugeot 405 came out in 1987 and Four Aces closed in 1988!
🧐 👏🏼
we squatted the 4 aces/africa house in the 90s.... had a pirate radio station in the roof...
no the 405 came out in E reg 1988 in the uk.
This is December 1987 at 3,27 there is a RSPCA poster featuring an abandoned dog...I remember that campaign being launched in November 1987, the tree are totally bare and the light very weak but with grey cloudy atlantic depression skies.
Lived in Hackney from 1980-88.Nothing but fond memories for this cockney red!
Wow them days where good days in dalston . This video took me back to them good old days ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Born and raised me and my sister knew these streets like the back of our hands. MEMORIES
Sandringham Road then leading on Amhurst Road I love them times and used to live near Hackney downs
Wow, I used to go Clapton Girls Secondary school and remember the Hackney shown in these footages. Chatsworth to Sandringham Rd to Hoxton and then out of Hackney. Thanks for sharing😊
Beautiful Hackney, the real hackney!! All you newbies missed the boat, parties, real chicks and good times👍
" TOTALLY AGREE " " DA " GREAT TIMES "
So true.. real sale in that is now spoilt with genfication
Couldn’t t of said it better!
I live in Chester now, but miss my hackney especially Ridley market good days but didnt realise it at the time.
L🤫L
I'm from Hackney, Clapton Park Estate to be exact. I remember when Dalston looked like this! Doesn't any more!
Parts of it have change. There is a lot of disparity between the rich and poor in the area. It really feels as if the people have been pushed to moving outside of Hackney and London for the wealthier ones.
It used to have the worst housing estates in the UK..
That mural with the painting of the musicians is still there today in Dalston Lane. I've been living in Hackney since the late 1970s as a little girl, but looking at it now in 2024 so much has changed.
So many memories amazing upload thanks. Born and raised in hackney in the early 80's. You drove past the wallpaper/decorating shop on the corner at dalston junction. Think it was called "Fads" or something. Used to go in there with my dad as a young boy. Aswell as the argos, the post office on the high st. Were great times. Had become ruined these days by the "hipsters" they will never understand how great hackney in the 80s and 90s was.
I was born in Hackney hospital in 1965. We lived on Neville road in Stokey, then moved to South East London. I used to take the 78 to Shoreditch, and then the 22 or 22A to come visit my Aunt.The 22 used to pass by the 4-Aces.
I was born Hackney Hospital 1952, moved out of London to Aveley Essex about the same time, my nan and granddad lived in Clissold Road Stoke Newington, and Newington Green
Brilliant.. Having lived and grown up around here, feels amazing to see where all the shops used to be. Also its great to see where on dalston lane four aces once was😍 just a 95 baby whos into history.
Tearing up at the memories 😢
Wow brings me back, my nan lived in Dalston and was there every single weekend of my childhood, what amazing memories of what used to be. Going down memory lane is just so magical when you watch these videos. 🙏❤❤❤❤🙏
I Love people making a video of old time
Come Thru Hackney E5, E8, E9, N15,N16.....yasssssss!
N15 is Tottenham
How I miss hackney good old days
Wonderful Hackney! Love it!
that mural can never be removed
Well said. I still live in Hackney and everytime I see that or the Post Office on Kingsland Road that really brings back happy warm feelings.
Agreed,shame they haven't removed all the artless,ugly graffiti that has sprung up everywhere since!
This must be around 1988, judging from the 38 being a yellow banded tourist route?
them 38 buses take me back lol and im 25 remember jumping off it lol also hackney did look better back then and its not even that long away
Imagine growing up during this period, this is something that money couldn’t buy! What have we done to the world we live in? We say the world is a bad place, I say the world has bad people living in it, along with the good 😔
People who grew up in Hackney during the 50's were probably the saying the EXACT same thing when this footage was made.🤔
Great times growing up in hackney use to live of pownall Rd just behind the Broadway market played in London fields would often go and get a pound note of nan in the pub and go get pie n mash from cookes pie mash shop and would play along the canal I remember bonfire night all the kids having bonfires all over the place throughout all the flats and the police done nothing it was accepted also use to go swimming in aggy baths ...for all the non eastlonderners that would've been haggerston swimming pool which I don't think is there anymore..shame last time I was there and walked through the Broadway mkt it changed so much all soppy looking hipsters with rolled up jeans and sandles paying £20 for coffee and carrot cake ..shame its not the Hackney I remember.
Look like my man Petras from Homerton House School getting on the 38 there at the beginning. A little drive through the FrontLine, Sandringham, the days people were scared to come Hackney.
Aaaah yes when my dad used to drive us around in his ford Capri always wet always cold but the summers were hot. Miss those days. Changed alot but miss the old days before gentrification
I miss my Hackney
Nice seeing the RM Buses
Looks very late 80s early 90s, golden era
A very violent area
This is 1987, as the Four Aces is still there
@@PatrickEvans-x1v Safer now?
@@PatrickEvans-x1v Safer back then than it is today.
Home sweet dysfunctional sweet home. Tho I live many thousands of miles away, I still call it home. I just "live and sleep" wherever I am otherwise.
If this was filmed in '87, must of been sometime between August and December, cause of the E-reg Vauxhall Cavalier.
No shit Sherlock 😮
That Peugeot billboard advert was the ‘ take your breath away ‘ one though. That wasn’t out until 1991-92??
Trees are totally bare and the light very weak must be december
thanks for uploading I think this is early 80s late 70s
i went into that Burtons got a raincoat in 80
He just drove past my old house in Sandringham Road where I lived from 1982 until 1986 - not the most attractive area of London but I have nothing happy memories living there
Mainly highlighting Dalston and some parts of Clapton.
Had forgotten about the wallpaper and carpet shops in Dalston. Spent so much time up there. My mum lived just off Forest Road so I regularly jumped on the 38 back to my own place in lower Clapton (boarding just opposite the Four Aces). Love this upload. Thanks!
What a wonderful neighborhood....
It was amazing back then. Its all so different now the "new hackney"people have arrived.
Jaell the rich* people
@@jaelldixonmake hackney great again
Where I grew up!
Takes me back ❤😎
The 4 Aces! Remember it well...
He flew down Sandringham Road flew past my home 32a Sandringham Road
Give out your home address idiot
MEMORIES - The Four Aces Club smh. I bought my kids buggies in Family Care on Kingsland High Street.
I probably sold it to you. I worked there from 1990 for a few years
....and I bought my son’s cot from there, shortly before he was born in Homerton Hospital. 😊
i wonder if the all night bagel shop is still there, oh and the four aces where young GN police officer was always made welcome....
The one in stoke.newington is
Opposite GN
Coor, Miss London
Love dem dayz the street life,clubs and fashions in Hackney and Dalston. Early ninties i worked council offices in Sandringham rd, crazy times there
Wow! Great memories back in the days!
The very last scene looks like the GLC council offices opposite the Houses of Parliament/Scotland Yard etc. The bridge is probably Westminster Bridge and the London Eye would now be located nearby.
Well that brought back some serious memories !!! wow.
By the model of the cars this film must be over 30 yrs old.
Don't live here anymore the real ones know Stokey Hulls video store Dalston before the Nandos Sparkles restaurant,Mare street,Homerton Kingsmeade Estate Mabley,De Beauvoir Rose Lipman library, fields, Clapton Square, Nightingale Estate,Smalley, Daycocks Cycles the Rumbelows and Radio Rentals on Stokey high Road,Clissold park when the football pitch was a nasty sandy pitch but we loved it.If your day 1 Hackney you know before the gentrification and the influx of hipsters and the upper classes snapping up all the old Victorian houses.
Not forgetting Ravel's shoe shop, we couldn't afford the shoes, so used to buy a bag from them to make it look like we had!
I worked in Hulls video back in 83' . Cliff was the owner. Nice bloke
@@Carlton3303 I remember hulls we used to go and play street fighter 2 there when it became an arcade lol
Things were good. I reckon immigration wise we had a good balance. Blacks and whites were connected and creating new amazing cultures together and curry was a national dish and Indian people were slipping into the mix almost perfectly. Then came the far left, they monumentally destroyed everything. The country's a mess now. That'll never be fixed either.
very true===
Blair Era happened
Amazing to see the mural looking so fresh!
My old Manor Upper Clapton E5, don't miss it at all! N4 forever! Happy 1990s raver days! UK 🇬🇧
Love it
Looks like the late 80s( assuming 1987-89). Honestly technology has developed so much since then
Born and raised here.
Not from Hackney but family were I went there for college and sport when I was 16/17 and def felt the vibe and wanted to move there before the hipsters came in
feel like I just jumped into a time machine!
Me too, I loved Rigley Market Kingsland Rd and the wonderful Multicultural mix of Amazing people 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
my mum was born in dalston 1927 dad hackney like me, about 2003 i took my mum back there worse thing i could of done man did she cry get me out of here what have they done to it they say you shouldnt go back they were right ,,,,, what a sxxt hole
Nostalgia
Great to see north London back in the day, great memories of the place growing up....But how naive.. it was at this point the government new they fucked up, by the early 90s this area was a no go for a certain people and look at it now. 👎🏻
TAKE ME BACK!!!!!
solomon A Steady on!
I really wish there was a driving through Leyton video of around the same time
I am guessing this was in the late 80s
is there any information regarding the department store that was demolished to make way for the london overground?
Bit before my time but that’s my fucking borough. I’m more a 90s baby but from what I see it didn’t change much 🤣
FRONTLINE FRONTLINE FRONTLINE 😍😘🙌
Casablanca
used to love that little argos there, if i could park, i worked up the road a bit off kingsland road, arbutus street, think the little pub on the corner was the acton arms, might be wrong a double glazing firm, good ol days.
I lived in hindle house, arcola street. Went shackerwell school
My Nephew lived there until maybe 6 yrs ago. I used to got to 'Mangal' (I think that was its name), that Kurdish restaurant on the corner of Arcola street and Kingsland high road when I came to visit. Loved the Quail!
No speed humps omg
Thats the first thing i noticed on Sandringham rd. I used to live at the Amhurst end
Free parking too
Four Aces club,listening to Coxsone sound & Sandingham Rd front line were you could get your weekly supplies.
Can Hackney people tell me a bit about E2 8LN part of Hackney please? I have seen a flat but not sure if it’s worth it. I heard Hackney is a rough place? Please let me know.
Thank you 🙏🏼
That is something looking back in the area that I grew up with the rest of the people. Does anyone know which year this footage was taken?
Use to let the bus drive off and try run and jump on it. Good times
Hackney, Brick Lane, Spital Fields, Dalston, Shoreditch, all looked great back in the day, nowadays looks nowhere as good as it used to be..
They all look the same. You see the Hackney Downs area where once it used to have vibe whereas now it is just surrounded by un-afforable flats for the grassroot generation of Hackney. I feel for they youngsters who have been forced out of the area they grew up like in Dorset.
Nostalgia is wonderful we only remember the good times...
Wow. Totally changed.
This is so nostalgia
And the cameraman never dies
Looks really shabby
That was Dalston at the beginning of the video not Hackney !!, lol 😂😈
Dalston is in Hackney.
This brings back memories..
I’m assuming this was filmed in 1988 or 1989 given the Peugeot 405 billboard (1:33) “the 405 takes your breath away”!! Sorry, I have too much time on my hands!
My home
Wow that paintings been there for time
Hackney was rougher in the 90s, at this time in the 80s Kings Cross was definitely rougher at night especially
Can anyone direct me to more archive footage of old Hackney?
It’s crazy how Hackney is full of hippies now
Looks more like the early 90s to me
I agree 1987 is the year
I lived in Hackney Wick in the 80s and 90s. It looks gritty in this video but it was actually an OK place to live. The only downside was transport which was terrible. I was recently in Hackney and it is unrecognisable. Dalton and Hoxton are so gentrified these days.
But people earned less, vasco.
What year is this from?
Definitely before 1988 as Four Aces became Labyrinth. I reckon 86/87
It’s better now than then
true the only bad thing is that all the stores are the same all fast food and vapes
When was this?
Sébastien Lauret 1980's probably
Looks like early 90s
@@simonyip5978 Not probably, it is. I can tell by those Retro Cars like Vauxhall Cavaliers and I saw a Peugeot 405, that would of came out in 86 to 87.
Definitely before 1988 as Four Aces became Labyrinth. I reckon this is 87 judging by the cars and what not
