Historic photo guide to Hackney Homes
This is a guide to the houses of Hackney, exploring the different neighbourhoods and types of houses which make up the borough. The materials traditionally used in the construction of Hackney’s houses are described and the reasons for their use are explained.
This guide gives information to residents on how to improve their homes, the importance of conserving historic features, and how to make a pre-1960 house more energy efficient.
Hackney Houses looks at how these buildings can be looked after and altered in such a way that could enhance and improve the street and neighbourhood as well as the intrinsic qualities of the house.
