Talk:Hackney Central

message: On Channel 4 UK's Television Programme "The Best And Worst Places To Live In The UK" 2006, which was broadcast on Channel 4 UK on the 26th October 2006, it was officially branded as the Worst Place In The UK To Live In: 2006.
Was added here today by an anonymous user, while it may be factual that the TV programme occurred, its subject was the London Borough of Hackney. By the criteria of another channel 4 programme, LBH is one of the best places to buy and invest ... So, yer pays yer money, and takes your choice ... but this particular article is about a district in Hackney; and not one about LBH. So, the note is misplaced here.

message: I promised to have a think about the boundaries of the area (on 16 Jan). In common with much of London, they are more than a little fuzzy. So, any comments welcomed.
*Historically, Hackney village extended along a single road (Mare St), and its extension Church Street (now essentially the Narrow Way). While it is a 'ribbon development', we shouldn't think of it as thin, as many properties had extensive gardens behind them. (For instance: the Mermaid Tavern gardens extended from Church Street to - the then non-existent Amhurst Rd), and even 'lowly' cottages had land to feed themselves.
*On the north, the village was bounded by Lower Clapton and Upper Homerton, indeed I think the new church was built in upper Homerton, and this is reflected by it being included in Chatham (ward) - which is essentially the old upper Homerton. Same goes for Clapton Sq, although there is an argument for it lying in Lower Clapton. (The villages were really very much check-by-jowl here).
*On the south, there was a cluster of houses where Well St enters, not enough to be a village in its own right, but Hackney village petered out before then.
*On the west, it blends into Hackney Downs and ?. The east is bounded by the southern lump of Homerton.
*Through the whole lot, Hackney Brook ran, dividing the villages and most of the development, was below that.
So, the new church was built on church field, an empty field dividing Hackney village from Upper Homerton; and Clapton Sq in Upper Homerton/Lower Clapton. It being the only place left to build, until the railway came through and Victorian developers tore down the medieval heart of the village and replaced it with much what we see today.
Any comments on that view? The current Georgian Hackney section is a little geographically challenged, hopping around what seems to be the metropolitan borough. I don't want to discourage the editor, but a lot of it seems to be taken wholesale from Hackney walks (copyright), and is repeated (verbatim) in a page on Clapton Square.

replies: text: I've looked and Hackney Downs only really refers to the park, otherwise prove me wrong. I'm sorry i am still pursuing this but from what you have put above, shouldn't this whole area at least be named Hackney village? Simply south 11:24, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

message: A new, more concise infobox has been implemented for UK places. I've applied it here, but in checking I notice that the coordinates are wildly wrong, placing Hackney Central in the middle of London Fields. The pin in this case should at least be on Mare St, or the Narrow Way (I feel). Kbthompson 15:22, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Infobox UK place 

message: :The medieval village was centred on the 13th century Templar church of St Augustine, which gave Church Street its name - the modern Narrow Way - where it crossed Hackney Brook and met with the north end of Mare Street (originally near the site of the modern town hall). In common with much of Hackney, it developed along a single street - meeting Homerton and Clapton in the north; and along the line of Mare Street in the south. Where it crossed Cambridge Heath towards Bethnal Green.
If this info is important then please make it sensible. (I would rewrite it but I don't know what much of it is trying to say.) Thanks. Derekbd (talk) 04:08, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
