HACKNEY DALSTON FOREWORD Recent regeneration schemes have included a new station at Dalston Junction, the development of Dalston Square which brought in more than 500 new homes, the CLR James library and public archive, a new public space and further retail opportunities.

We will continue to see significant investment to the area, with comprehensive redevelopment of existing retail hubs such as the Kingsland High Street, Kingsland Shopping Centre and the Ridley Road Market. Future investment will also supports the growth of two areas dedicated to culture, creative and community industries.

Jules Pipe, Mayor of Hackney It’s an ongoing privilege to be able to operate my three businesses - Dalston Superstore, Voodoo Ray’s and Dance Tunnel - in the borough of Hackney. I can’t think of anywhere we would rather be. Hackney is a diverse, creative and progressive community; not to mention a fertile environment for independent entrepreneurs and businesses such as mine. We also enjoy an extremely positive relationship from the forward thinking team at Hackney Council and amazing support from the local neighbourhood.” Dan Beaumont, Founder, Dalston Superstore, Voodoo Ray’s and Dance Tunnel 3 “We have a reputation for contributing to eclectic, artistic and emerging neighbourhoods, Dalston was the natural next move, it was and still is an iconic neighbourhood, but it is going though rapid change and bringing a lot more people from outside of Dalston and Stoke Newington than when we first arrived, the area has become a bit of a destination.

They are a focal point for our culture, communities and everyday economies. They support the most sustainable models of living and working, including active travel and shorter commutes. And they are where new ideas, new ways of living, new businesses and new experiences are made. Our high streets and town centres face many challenges, but our research shows how much Londoners value them as places to meet, socialise, access services, shop, work and live.

The East London History Society, 2011; £12.60 and £3:50 p&p (overseas $18.50), http://wwww.eastlondonhistory .org.uk In three books published to date, two London-based researchers, Derek Morris and Kenneth Cozens, have set about the task of challenging many deeply-held stereotypes of London’s eastern parishes in the eighteenth century. With meticulous attention to detail, and with sure control of a wide range of archives, they have produced three highly-recommended works. The books Mile End and Wapping are in very short supply, if not by the time of this review, only available on the second-hand market. In Whitechapel, with the completion of the first phase of their research, they have ignored the restrictions imposed by parish boundaries: they have begun to draw conclusions about the nature of society in these areas in the eighteenth century. This is welcome for a number of reasons. But chief among these is that for too long historians have relied on a series of stereotypes with the emphasis on poverty, crime and “dirty industries,” to portray these eastern parishes, when in fact the emphasis should be on the important role played by local entrepreneurs in London’s growing economy and worldwide trading networks.
