Broadway Market 1906 vs 2011

History of Hackney

I know this topic should probably be in Hackney History or Photographs, hopefully this can strike some conversations here talking about the changes about Broadway Market throughout the years. (This group is way too quiet :P)

Found the below images of Broadway Market in 1906 (taken on 16 October 1906) from “Lost London 1870-1945” by Philip Davies. Photographs in colour were taken by me on 4 May 2011.

I have posted a more comprehensive description on my blog if interested.

Also @alexpink in the group here is brewing a very interesting project about Hackney Revisited comparing photos from 1980s to the present.”
