Images of Hackney and Beyond by Tony HallFebruary 8 – May 21 An exhibition of drawings cartoons and photographs taken by Hackney resident Tony Hall in the 1960s. Tony worked for the Evening Standard and the Sun/News of the World as a political cartoonist.The photos are rough proofs found in an old tin trunk after his death in 2008.

Here are memories of the way we shopped the way we dressed and of streets wonderfully free of cars.'”
