POINT TAKEN
By
James Willsher
VER 70 knives,
guns and
dangerous
weapons have
been taken off the
borough’s streets in a
London-wide police
crackdown.
Since the Operation
Blunt2 campaign to tackle
serious youth violence was
launched just over a
month ago, 28 people have
been charged with kniferelated crimes including
O
possession of an offensive
weapon, which carries a
maximum sentence of four
years’ imprisonment.
Police have used
methods such as
intelligence-led stop and
search, knife detection
arches at transport hubs,
searching estates for
discarded and hidden
weapons, automatic
number plate recognition
operations, and test
purchases.
Chief Superintendent
Steve Dann, Hackney’s
Borough Commander,
said: “Knife crime destroys
families and I would like
to see parents taking more
responsibility – ensuring
their children do not leave
the home carrying a knife,
for example. Young people
who carry knives and
other offensive weapons
are more likely to be
victims of knife crime
themselves.
Mayor of Hackney, Jules
Pipe, said: “I congratulate
Hackney police on their
success in getting these
dangerous weapons off the
streets.
“The Council will
continue to work with the
police, schools and
families to further reduce
knife crime and to make
Hackney a safer place.”
In recent months, the
Council’s Trading
Standards officers have
been conducting test
purchases using young
volunteers. Six
shopkeepers who sold
knives to under-18s are
now set to be prosecuted –
with a maximum penalty
of £5,000.

The Council’s
top priority is
making sure we
secure the best
legacy for our
residents
Message from the Mayor
The tragic death of
16 year-old Ben
Kinsella in Islington
last week showed
once again how
knife crime can tear
apart families and
communities.
Knife crime in
Hackney has fallen
by over a third
during the past two
years and there are
now over 15
Chief Superintendent Steve Dann,
London boroughs

Special Constable Russell Hartley-Jones
of knife crime.
But one incident is one too many and tackling violent
crime is a top priority for the Council and the police.
The London-wide police initiative Operation Blunt2 is
doing good work in removing dangerous and offensive
weapons from our streets, with Hackney police seizing
over 70 weapons so far.
We’re also cracking down on shops that illegally sell
knives to children. The Council’s Trading Standards team
has been working with underage volunteers to test
whether shops will sell knives to them, and those that did
now face prosecution.
But we also need to make sure that young people have
an alternative to the knife-carrying gang culture, and I am
pleased that Hackney is being nationally recognised for
our work in this area including, last week, by the Home
Affairs Select Committee of MPs.
The vast majority of Hackney’s young people are
law-abiding citizens who play a huge role in making our
borough the most diverse and dynamic in London. We will
continue to support them by transforming Hackney’s
schools and providing more activities for young people to
do. At the same time, we will not tolerate the small
minority of young people who choose to make both
themselves and others more vulnerable.

“One of the Council’s longheld ambitions is to inspire
as many residents as
possible to get involved in
regular physical activity.”
Youngsters can also draw
inspiration from Hackney
stars. Dervis Konuralp will

August, when London
becomes official host city

The Summer Games
programme was organised
by the School Sports
Partnership and the
Council’s 2012 Olympic
and Paralympic Unit and
funded by Team Hackney.
A SERIES of 2012 Games
legacy events took place on
25 June. Adults and children
built their vision for the future
by moving pieces around on
the London Development
Agency’s giant map.
The Olympic Delivery
Authority gave a presentation
and answered questions
about the legacy of the media
centres, which will
accommodate around 20,000
journalists during the Games
and will remain as an
employment area after 2012.
Council officers were on hand
to provide information about
signing up for 2012-related
jobs, training and volunteering
opportunities.
Mayor of Hackney, Jules Pipe,
said: “The Council is
committed to helping deliver
the best Games ever, but our
top priority is making sure we
secure the best possible
legacy for our residents. I’m
pleased so many local people
attended this event, as their
views and ideas are vital.”

Fiona Fletcher-Smith, to celebrate an affordable housing
scheme in Wenlock Street, by Genesis Housing Group.
Meg Hillier, MP for Hackney South and Shoreditch, was
also at the event. She said: “This represents a wonderful
example of how Hackney is making a real difference in
providing all-affordable homes in the very heart of London.”
Cllr Jamie Carswell, Deputy Mayor of Hackney also spoke at
the event. He said: “We need to ensure our services are
working together to meet the housing needs of families.
“It is a credit to Genesis’ co-ordinated approach on the
project that this development is really taking shape and
making a difference to residents in the area. It’s great to see
how many people have contributed to the time capsule.”
Genesis is working with Islington and Shoreditch Housing
Association on the scheme. Work started in March 2007
and it is expected to be complete by May 2009.
Dalston diversion update
MAJOR roadworks in Dalston to allow the extension of the
East London line to Highbury and Islington will begin on 19
July for around 10 months.
Transport for London needs to replace a Victorian road
bridge that runs above the new line, so will put traffic
restrictions on Dalston Lane between the junctions of
Queensbridge Road and Kingsland Road, which may lead to
some delays.
Phase one of the restrictions will close the southern
footpath and retain two-lane, two-way traffic with a
northern footpath in place for pedestrians. This will last for
around four months.
Phase two will start in mid-November (see map below). It
will see traffic reduced to one-way eastbound with the
northern footpath retained. Westbound traffic, including
buses, will be diverted from Dalston Lane along
Queensbridge Road, Richmond Road and Kingsland Road.
This will last for two months.
Phase three will see two-way traffic restored with the
southern footpath reinstated and the northern footpath
closed. The work is scheduled for completion by the end of
May 2009. The work will allow the East London line to
connect with Highbury and Islington via Canonbury in 2011.
To help bus passengers safely cross Dalston Lane by using
an existing pelican crossing, the bus stop near Beechwood
Road will
temporarily be
moved east to
near Laurel
Street. It is
expected to
return to its
current
location next
March.

HACKNEY has the most improved Council Tax
collection rates in London – and the second
most improved in the country.
The Council collected 92.4 per cent of what
it was owed for homes in 2007/08, up 1.9
percentage points on the previous year’s figure of
90.5 per cent, and the highest increase in the capital.
Cllr Jamie Carswell, Deputy Mayor of Hackney, said:
“Making sure the Council is high-performing and
efficient is an important priority for the for the Council.
“This is a great illustration of how the Council is
improving, and improving its services for residents.”
The collection of the borough’s business rates (NNDR)
also saw a boost, up to 99.3 per cent from 98.4 per cent
in the same period, the joint third highest rate in London.
Local Government Minister John Healey said: “Collection
of council tax continues beyond the year in which it is
due, and I urge councils not to let up the pressure, but to
continue their good work on chasing arrears and make
further improvements to their collection rates. It is only
fair that everyone pays what they owe.”

phenomenon is to be celebrated

The Speaker then presented
those who attended the event
with a map of the Caribbean in
the 1930s, and also a lapel
badge bearing the crest of the
borough.
Members of the borough’s
Windrush generation have also
recently attended workshops
held by Lorna Holder,
managing director of Tuareg
Productions, as research for a
play to be staged at the
Hackney Empire.
Elenora Royerdesbonnes – ‘Supergran’
ELENORA has lived in the London Fields
area for more than 40 years. She
arrived from Dominica, in August,
1960, to join her husband and two
brothers who had already come over in
search of a new life.
Mrs Royerdesbonnes, 73, said: “In the
West Indies, England was the ‘mother
country.’
“When I arrived at Victoria Station it
was a very rainy day, and dull, cold and
wet – and I’d thought the streets of
England were paved with gold?”
Seven years later after moving to
Hackney, Mrs Royerdesbonnes began
working in the borough’s vibrant
textiles industry. She still works -– “my
kids call me Supergran” – these days
in an older people’s home in
Leytonstone.
The grandmother-of-12 remembers
buying bottled pigs’ trotters from a
shop in Broadway Market, and today
buys Caribbean produce in Ridley Road
market. She feels that, although
Hackney has seen progress over the
years, it is becoming more expensive.
In 1978, the year of Dominica’s
independence from the UK, she became
involved with the Dominica Overseas
Nationals Association, and three
decades on she still attends
meetings of the nationwide
umbrella organisation.
Although she arrived 12 years
after the Windrush
passengers, Mrs
Royerdesbonnes wrote a play partly
based on her experiences which was
performed in Hackney Town Hall in
1991.
With a brother living down the road in
Hoxton, and most of her family in
Hackney, nearly 50 years after her solo
journey from Dominica, Mrs
Royerdesbonnes has long since
considered the borough her home.
Longtime London Fields resident Elenora Royerdesbonnes came to England from Dominica in 1960

crime.
“We work with people,
talk to them, help them
identify and test their
vocation” said Rose.
“I tell these people to
listen to God’s voice; to be
obedient and not to be
hesitant, particularly for the
sake of our children.”
Her illustrious career has
spanned 20 years and has
touched people around the
world. She moved
permanently to England in
1985.
Since then Rose has
served on the Board of the
World Council of Churches,
representing the Church of
T
England in Zimbabwe and
Brazil.
She also served on the
Governing Body of the
Society for Promoting
Christian Knowledge; and
was on the Board of the
Broadcasting Standards
Commission.
“
We’re here to
make a
difference – to
make the world
a better place
than we
found it
”
A regular on Terry Wogan’s
Pause for Thought BBC
Radio 2 programme, Rose
has also been the subject
and maker of TV
documentaries.
Rose has recently been
appointed Her Majesty’s
Chaplain and will preach in
St James’ Palace Chapel –
she is the first black person
to hold the position.
She also chairs the
Committee for Minority
Ethnic Anglican Concerns, a
national organisation that
encourages people from
minority ethnic backgrounds
to reach positions
of leadership in
the Church.

How does she do it? Rose
attributes her drive to her
early years in Jamaica
where she was surrounded
by worthy peers – people
she could be inspired by and
respect; role models that
gave her the courage and
belief that she now instils in
others. “I was grateful to
grow up there as I saw an
image and reflection of
myself in all walks of life”
she said, adding, “if children
don’t see reflections of
themselves in us we’re
letting them down.”
Rose’s current project
takes this belief and puts it
into action. She plans to
develop All Saints Church
in Haggerston so that it
offers out of school
programmes, and meeting
spaces for children and
adults. It will also serve as a
place to remind adults of
their responsibilities as
parents and their status as
role models. She is now
calling on people to come
together to make the project
a reality, for people who
believe in the importance of
community to step forward.
“We’re not here for
ourselves”, Rose concluded,
“we’re here to make a
difference – to make the
world a better place than
we found it.”

Sustaining
an interest
By
Annie Gilbert
VER 100 teachers
and pupils flocked
to Hackney City
Farm, E2, to take
part in green workshops.
The day was hosted by
Hackney Environmental
Education Network
(HEEN), a group of
individuals and
organisations involved in
education for sustainable
development in Hackney.
The event on 9 June was
also a celebration of green
activity in schools and a
O

chance for everyone to share
their experiences.
St John the Baptist School
told of the measures its
pupils have taken to turn
green; Colvestone School
spoke about its outdoor
classroom; Skinners’
Company’s School for Girls
brought a sustainability
game they created; and St
Paul’s with St Michael’s CE
School shared news of their
composting scheme.
Attendees had the chance
to join in lively workshops
to get hints and ideas about
how to make their school
more sustainable.
Katherine Hayward from
ecoACTIVE, who was at the
event, said: “There is a great
deal of good work going on
in Hackney’s schools to
make them greener, and
students are ahead of the
game when it comes to
looking after the
environment, but there is
always more to do.”
The HEEN event was
linked to The Year of Food
and
Farming – supported
by the Department for
Environment, Food and
Rural Affairs – an initiative
that aims to promote
healthy living by offering
young people experience of
the countryside, farming
and food.

Have you got a
snapping bug?
By Kate Gibney
IF you have a sharp eye for
a photo – and can spot a
bug at ten yards, then you
could win a prize.
British Waterways is
launching a wildlife
photography competition
for people living near
canals, rivers and docks in
East London and wants to
see pictures of dragonflies
and damselflies. The
Regents Canal runs
through Hackney, offering
ample opportunity for
photographers.
The aim of the
competition is to encourage
people of all ages to take
part in British Waterways’
fifth annual wildlife survey
to record the species found
on inland waterways. The
information gathered is
used to plan the protection
and management of canals
and rivers.
Last year there were
almost 4,000 sightings of
over 60 different species.
For the 2008 survey, British
Waterways has joined
forces with the British
Dragonfly Society to focus
on rare dragonflies and
damselflies.
The competition is open
until 30 September, and has
a special category for

HACKNEY’S carbon footprint takes centre
stage as the Council prepares a plan to help
tackle climate change in the borough.
The Council has investigated Hackney’s C02
emissions, and will use this information to set
further targets for annual reductions.
The most recent results show that in 2005
the borough’s total carbon emissions were
958,000 tonnes per annum, the lowest in
London.
A key priority in the strategy will be to combat
‘fuel poverty’, where a household spends
more than 10 per cent of its income on
heating – a result of poor energy efficiency in
a home, and rising energy costs.
In January this year the Council signed the
Nottingham Declaration, a pledge to recognise
climate change, and to work with residents,
businesses and other organisations to reduce
carbon emissions.
The Council’s refuse collection fleet is also
being fuelled with biodiesel blend to reduce
emissions. Schemes to encourage cycling in
Hackney have resulted in a 70 per cent
increase since 1991 in cycle journeys to work,
and 118 per cent increase overall.

started a band called the
Rocky Body Builders. The
band members say they will
do anything to get to the
top.

says “Next year we will

do for us what she did for

Barry, 18, who’s the

The band run through one of their songs at Hoxton Hall’s music studio – with drummer Barry showing his versatility on guitar
they would be ecstatic if
they became even more
successful.
The group was set up
three years ago and Tina
Pinder who now runs the
group told us how it got
started. “Most kids,
teenagers in particular,
seemed to have nowhere to
go regularly where they
could learn how to play
instruments, and so it was
set up in response from calls
from parents who were
looking for a good musical
activity for children with

When it’s good to live in a wild place
By Rhasan Brunner, 13
Some people think Hackney is a wild
place to live in. But there are places
in Hackney where wildlife isn’t a bad
thing.
I think Hackney is a cool place
because of all the parks.
Clissold Park is magnificent because
you get to see friendly, cute animals
in the enclosure. When
I’m in Clissold Park it
feels like I’m at
one with nature
because of the
green spaces,
ponds and
animals.
It’s a really
interesting
park to be in
and holds
events like
Stokefest where
there are lots of
activities.
Other parks I
find interesting
are parks like Hackney Downs and
Butterfield Green.
Butterfield Green is a local park near
my house and it’s really lovely
because it’s been there longer than
I’ve been around. There are birds
like crows and pigeons. When
I was a baby my parents
took me there for
walks. Every
time I go to
Butterfield
Park I have
good memories.
I sometimes go to Hackney Downs
and used to go when I was a toddler.
I used to think it was really unique
because the playground was really
good. It was busy with older and
younger people as well as flies and
wasps! I used to like the roundabout
and the slides. It was a place where
local children could meet.
Nearby Victoria Park is really
spacious and has lots of greens, like
the grass and trees. It also has a
duck pond. It gives me a lot of
happiness when I go there because I
meet different people who are really
friendly and I can make friends. I
also like it because it’s a great place
to have a wonderful picnic or to just
play and relax.
So if you like parks like these I
strongly suggest you go and see all
the great wildlife in Hackney.
try to get ongoing funding
for the group. It is currently
funded by the Jack Petchey
Foundation.
The young musicians
meet every week to practice
in Hoxton Hall music
studio which has two
drum-kits, electric and
acoustic guitars, bass
guitars, keyboards and
microphones. At the end of
every term there is a special
performance. The group
also makes their own CDs.
Barry joined the Rocky
Body Builders three years
ago and Paul joined the
project last September. He
wanted to learn skills that
are part of his ambitions to
be a famous singer.
I found their music
surprising. I thought it was
great and full of energy. It

had a lot of charisma. I
would have never expected
it to be that good. Their
music had personality and
allures you to listen to more
of it. It was truly amazing.

Houses of Parliament and

joked that ‘one day there would
be a statue of a black person
erected here’.
It was Mandela’s first trip to the

REVIEW
Madness’s Suggs on stage at the Empire
By Iain Sharp
Madness at the Hackney
Empire, 24 June
MADNESS successfully
recreated the atmosphere
of an old music hall,
performing songs from
their latest album and a
selection of old favourites.
To mark the occasion there
were people dressed in
period musical hall
costumes who interacted
with the pork pie hat and fez
wearing crowd before the
show. Think old time
musical hall crossed with a
1980s Ska disco.
The concert, to use a well
worn cliché, was a game of
two halves. The first, split
into three acts, was devoted

to songs from their new
album. Any doubts about
whether these new songs
would live up to their old
favourites were dispelled
after a few verses of the first
song We Are London, which
was reassuringly good.
Of the new songs, their
latest single NW5 was a
standout track, with the
band playing to a backdrop
of images of the area.
The second half got off to a
cracking start with their first
ever single One Step
Beyond. The vibrations from
the crowd jumping up and
down in time to the music
shook the foundations of the
Empire like an earth tremor.
This was quickly followed by
perennial crowd pleasers
The Prince, and House of
Fun, which even got the
Pearly King of Peckham
dancing. Superb versions of
Baggy Trousers and
Embarrassment were
notable highlights of the
night. The latter, a song
about a mixed-race
pregnancy reveals the
bands Kinks-like knack for
insightful social comment.
The only disappointment
was a few notable
omissions such as
Tomorrow’s Just Another
Day and Driving in My Car,
but mercifully there was no

The show finished in style
with an energetic Night Boat

HE borough’s health
professionals have
gained national
recognition, with two
wins at the Health and Social
Care Awards on 1 July.
Hackney and the City’s
Teenage Pregnancy
Partnership was honoured
for achieving a dramatic fall
in teenage conception rates
of 28 per cent since 1998 –
more than double the
national average.
A second award went to
Janette Hynes, a Hackney-
T
based senior occupational
therapist who set up a
pioneering football league
for people with mental
illness and has just received
an MBE. A former
professional footballer and
coach, Janette won the
Leadership for Improvement
Award.
Baroness Molly Meacher,
Chair of East London NHS

event to see Janette receive
her award. She said: “Janette
is a truly remarkable person.
She has transformed the
lives of hundreds of service
users.”

Battling bottle with positive action
A SPECIALIST alcohol service
to help adults in the borough
who are severely dependent on
drink has opened its doors.
Research suggests that 3.6
per cent of adults of working
age in England are severely
dependent on alcohol. If this
applied to Hackney it would
mean there could be over
5,500 people who need help
to quit.
The new service, which
opened on 1 July, will provide
care to residents who have
severe alcohol dependence or
other complex alcohol-related
problems and will be run from
locations across the borough.
It will offer specialist indepth assessment, access to
medication and the option to
21
refer people who are
struggling to residential detox
and rehabilitation
programmes.
Consultant Psychiatrist Dr
Vanessa Crawford, clinical
lead for the service said:
“Alcohol misuse has a huge
impact on the individual, their
families and the wider
community.
“People can unwittingly
become heavy users and not
feel able to break the cycle.
“Alcohol impacts on a wide
range of physical health and
social problems, such as
homelessness, child neglect,
domestic abuse and mental
distress.
“This service will help
people to make changes that
they need to turn their lives
around.”

People can be referred to the
service by their GP or other

Partnership works with
local service providers –
such as the Homerton
Hospital, the City and
Hackney Primary Care
Trust, the Council and the
Learning Trust – as well as
the community and
voluntary sector and young
people themselves, to
provide measures aimed at
reducing teen conception.
Cllr Rita Krishna, Cabinet
Member for Children and
Young People, said:
“Tackling teen pregnancy is
an important part of
Hackney’s drive to reduce
inequalities and to extend
opportunity to all young
people in the borough. I’m
pleased that the
partnership’s achievements
have been recognised with
this award.”
The awards, which took
place at Wembley Stadium,
are run by the NHS Institute
for Innovation and
Improvement, and the
Department of Health. They
aim to showcase best
practice from the frontline,
and this year received 2,500
applications.

Smokefree Hackney
– one year on
A YEAR since the smoking ban came
into force in England and Wales,
Hackney businesses and residents
seem to be embracing the legislation.
Visits arranged by the
Environmental Health Smokefree
Team have found that 99 per cent of
enclosed and substantially enclosed
workplaces and public areas in
Hackney are now smoke-free.
Recent Government research
suggests that the smoking ban has
resulted in an increase in people
breaking the habit, which has longterm benefits for the health of
smokers, and those who are no
longer exposed to fumes.
From 1 July, mental health
units across England also
went smokefree. Hackney
Council, City and Hackney
Primary Care Trust and
East London NHS
Foundation Trust worked together
to ensure all of its mental health
units were ready when the ban
began.
Support to quit smoking is
available via your local GP or
community pharmacist. Call: 0800
169 1943 for comprehensive stop
smoking support. To read the One

People will have been
enjoying Springfield Park (left)
for 103 years this August
Springfield House as a café in 1925 (above); a watercolour of the Park in 1911, by F.G. Humphreys (below); a postcard showing the park keeper’s house and the River Lea in c1911 (below, right); and a four-legged park user (bottom)
Park that nearly wasn’t
By Siân Mogridge
UNNY isn’t always
the best word to
describe English
summers, but at least
in Hackney there are plenty
of places to go for a stroll or
a picnic when the weather is
good.
This is partly thanks to
previous generations of
Hackney residents and
Councillors, who did their
best to create and preserve
our green spaces.
Springfield Park was
formally opened on 5
August 1905. This was
quite an achievement since,
several years earlier, the
entire area
had been put
up for sale to
be built on.
The
Springfield
Estate
contained 32
acres of open
land, and the
S
rapid expansion of London
at the turn of the century
meant that land for
development was in
high demand.
Fortunately, London
County Council (LCC)
got wind of the
proposed sale and,
with strong support
from the
Borough
Councils of
Hackney and
Stoke Newington, started
collecting the £40,000
needed to buy Springfield
Estate.
The land was meant to be
sold by public auction in
May 1904, but a group of
residents negotiated with the
owner for the sale to be
delayed for a few weeks,
putting down £1,000 of
their own money as a
deposit. LCC was able to
buy it later that year. As well
as money put forward by
LCC and Hackney and
Stoke Newington Councils,
£3,000 was raised locally – a
huge sum at the time.
The LCC carried out some
renovation work on the park
before opening it to the
public – repairing fences,
building paths and putting in
seats. They also knocked
down two large houses built
on the estate, Spring House,
on Spring Hill Road, and the
Chestnuts which was built
almost in the middle of the
park. The third, Springfield
House, was kept for use as a
café. More commonly called
the White Lodge, it’s still in
use today.
If we’re lucky with the
weather this weekend, why
not stroll in Springfield
Park? As you do, spare a
thought for the residents
who helped save this lovely
green space for us to enjoy.

Enter the zone
LORRY drivers with
highly polluting diesel
vehicles now have to pay
up to £200 to enter
London, as the second
phase of a scheme to
improve residents’ health
begins.
The first phase of the
Low Emission Zone for
lorries over 12 tonnes
began on 4 February.
The second phase came
into force on 7 July, and
affects all vehicles over 3.5
tonnes. Those entering the
Greater London Authority
(GLA) area must comply
with the Euro III standard
on the amount of
pollution they emit.
The zone operates 24
hours a day, seven days a
week, every day of the
year and covers all public
roads inside the boundary,
except the M25. The M1
south of London Gateway
Services; the M4 east of
Junction three; and the
M4 spur to Heathrow are
all included.
London has the worst
air quality in the UK and
among the worst in
Europe, which worsens
asthma and causes the
premature deaths of an
estimated 1,000 people
each year in the capital.
Nick Fairholme, Head
of the London Low
Emission Zone at
Transport for London,
said: “A huge effort has
been made to ensure that
those affected by the zone
are aware of the scheme
and know what action
they can take to comply.”

7 July 2008
The Mayor & Councillors
Councillors are elected by Hackney
residents and serve for four years.
The last borough elections were in
May 2006.
Councillors have a range of
responsibilites, including helping to
oversee the Council and its services.
They all hold advice surgeries where you
can meet your local representative and
ask them to take up issues that may be
of concern.
Generally they can help with Council related
matters, but if the issue is the responsibility
of another person or organisation, they can
often point you in the right direction and tell
you who you need to see.
Hackney has 57 councillors representing
areas called wards – illustrated in the
map opposite.
Please note: some councillors do not hold
surgeries during the school Easter and
summer holidays.
To check which councillor covers your area, or confirm surgery times, call: 020 8356 3373.

History page brought back market memories
MY daughter and son gave
me a copy of Hackney
Today (12 May) because
they knew I’d be interested
in the History page on
Broadway Market.
I worked for more than 30
years in Kenny’s newsagent
and retired just before I
was 65. It was run by Jim
and Lylie Ferry, their son
Ken and his wife Sylvia,
and several members of
their family. They also had
a stationery and toy shop.
When I started they had
old tills – similar to the
ones in Open All Hours –
and we had to add up in
our heads. Cigarettes were
Recipes straight from the
ovens at Hoxton Apprentice
www.hoxtonapprentice.com
HERE is another in our series of recipes courtesy of the Hoxton Apprentice restaurant,
chosen by one of their successful trainees.This week’s recipe is a favourite of Hayley’s.
Hayley, 25, is an apprentice who completed the programme earlier this year, and is now
working full time at the restaurant. A single mum from Hackney, she had always wanted
to work to support her family, but found it difficult to find a job that was flexible enough
to meet her childcare needs.
Hayley said “I am so pleased to be able to work, earn a living and provide for my family. I
feel it is really important for my children to see me working and having confidence in
myself, and that I can still have time to spend with my family.”
Recently, she received the Mayor of Hackney’s Award for Best Social Enterprise on behalf
of Hoxton Apprentice. This year she also attended a reception at Buckingham Palace
where she met the Queen and was interviewed for the BBC Four Food Programme.

for the workplace and give them the
chance to gain an NVQ in hospitality.
Profits are returned to Training For Life, the
charity which operates the restaurant, to
deliver more training for unemployed people.

sold in packets of 5s and
the pre-decimal money
included farthings and
sixpences. I earned about
£3 per week. My daughter
worked as a Saturday girl
when she was younger. I
had some happy times.
Ken and Sylvia live in
Spain now, but sadly Jim
and Lylie are no longer
with us. I worked for the
Ferry’s 20 years.
The ‘originals’ left in the
market now are Bob
(Cookes Pie shop); Henry
(Tidiman’s Butchers); and
John (fruit and veg stall).
They all used to work with
their parents.
Many films were made in
the market over the years
and lots of stars came into
the shop. I saw a Dempsey
and Makepiece film on the
television only last week,
mainly shot in the market.
I belonged to the Cat and
Mutton Pub’s ladies’ darts
team, and I had many a
vodka and tonic in the then
Sir Walter Scott Pub –
happy days!
The market was busy years
ago and it’s nice to see so
many people there now.
Thanks for the memories!
