A Love Song to Hackney
“Hi Peter. Congratulations for producing a very fine book. I’ve been through it several times already and I’m impressed by the amount of useful information you’ve given us, it’s a book I will return to, probably with a magnifying glass, there’s so much to see!
The photographs have printed well, the colours look great and the book has a good feel. The thoughtful writing gives the photos context and the combination works well, there’s humour too.
I love the coloured black and white photos of Homerton High Street in the 1960s, they’re gorgeous. The book is a micro-history of Hackney that will outlast the internet.
And I’m chuffed that you’ve used some of my photos, they’re in good company, thank you for including them.”

“I can’t thank you enough. I’ve started to read it and don’t want to put it down!
The book is absolutely amazing, the photos and pictures bring so many memories back to me. I know it will take a while to get through this, but I’m definitely looking forward to seeing all there is to see and read about Hackney. I know my son will be interested in reading it as well”
