Yesterday I took some pictures in my old area of South Hackney (especially Kingshold Estate) as part of my research into #Hackney post-war estates.

Here& #39;s me and my friends on the corner of Well Street back in 2003 and here& #39;s me in the same spot in 2020.
Here& #39;s an image of the New Kingshold Estate way back in 1990 and the image below is the exact same spot yesterday. As you can see the estate was completely demolished.
Here& #39;s two split images of Balcorne Street and Primose Square. A lot has changed around the Kingshold Estate over the last 30 years...
Here& #39;s an image near Ainsworth Road, I went Primary School about one minute away from here and still have memories of the dramatic changes during the 1990s.
Here& #39;s another image near Lauriston Road - however the original photo was taken in the 1970s courtesy of @CoLA_Southwark. I have so many memories here...
and here& #39;s a final photo of @hackneycouncil offices in the late 1990s. Now replaced by the new @CardinalPoleRC school - I went to the original school near Cassland Road
Enjoy the photographs, please share and retweet! I will be taking similar photographs in other areas of Hackney over the next few months!

Also credit to @chrisdb1 for some of the original images and who has been hugely influential in my interest in the history of Hackney.
