The meeting will be followed by a presentation by Hackney Archives, and, at 7.00pm by a talk:
Street name plates of Hackney: an illustrated talk by Simon Morris
Simon has cycled round every street in the London Postal Districts (some 3000 miles), and photographed pre-1920 street name plates. He will talk about the historic street signs of Hackney – where they are, how they were put up, and how residents reacted to them, placing them in a broader London context.
Free entry, but must be booked via Eventbrite:
