Clapton Common and its environs – WALK (Anytime)

Clapton

A historical walk around Clapton Common devised by Architectural Historian Ann Robey of The Hackney Society.Download the leaflet pdf here…http://www.hackneysociety.org/page_id__166_path__0p26p.aspxI did this recently and found it quite interesting, now is a good time to do it as some of the buildings mentioned in the leaflet are about to be demolished.
