Hackney’s netball squad celebrate their improved performance in this year’s London Youth Games
HUNDREDS of young athletes
took centre stage at this
year’s London Youth Games
with Hackney putting in its
best performance ever.
The borough was represented
by more than 400 eager
competitors and came in the
top 20 for the first time, against
32 other London boroughs.
Hackney jumped seven
places to 16th overall, after
finishing 23rd last year, with
18 teams from the borough
finishing in the top 10 for
their individual events.
Hackney landed team medals
in the weightlifting, girls’
basketball, and adapted
rowing team events. Individual
medals were also won by 34
young athletes in disciplines
including disability athletics
and kayaking.

ONE YEAR TO GO
ACKNEY’S
parks are the
place to be
this summer if
you want to mark the
final countdown to the
London 2012 Games
in style.
On 27 July there will
be exactly one year to go
until the Olympic opening
ceremony. To mark the
milestone there will be
a Parks for Life event in
Haggerston Park on 24
July, featuring a traditional
H
sports day with egg and
spoon races, long jump
and time trials. Other
highlights include live
music, healthy eating stalls,
face-painting and a play
zone for young children.
Then Hackney One
Carnival returns on 7
August, along with a Parks
for Life festival in Clissold
Park. The carnival brings
together performers from
across the borough as part
of the Cultural Olympiad
to celebrate arts and
culture alongside sports in
the run up to the Games.
Now in its fourth year,
the carnival parade kicks
off at 12noon in Ridley
Road and works its way
north up the A10 to Stoke
Newington Church Street,
before arriving in Clissold
Park at 2pm. There will be
live music, dancing and fun
activities until 6pm.
Last year more than
8,000 people enjoyed the
event, which is organised
by the Council’s 2012
Unit alongside local
carnival groups. Mayor of
Hackney, Jules Pipe, said:
“With just one year to go
until the 2012 Games,
Hackney One Carnival is
a great way for residents
to come out and celebrate
our role as a host borough
and to get involved in a
community event.”
Parks for Life activities
run until September and
are aimed at helping
people get fit and healthy
outdoors. Cllr Jonathan
McShane, Cabinet
Member for Health, Social
Care, and Culture, said:
“We want to encourage as
many people as possible to
stay active and make the
most of Hackney’s award
winning green spaces.”

were thwarted by
heavy rain.
They were
taking part in
the Council-run

Personal Bests is
currently running in
more than 40 primary
schools across the
borough, and involves
around 2,000 children
how the activities they do
and what they eat, can
contribute to a healthy
lifestyle.
Children, aged nine
to 11, from 40 of the
borough’s primary schools
have been trying their
hand at a range
of Olympic and
Paralympic sports
and recording their
progress. The six
most improved pupils
from each school make it
through to the finals, and
the team with the most
new personal best scores
in long jump, triple jump,
javelin, shot put, discus
and running are crowned
champions.
But after several hours
of torrential rain during
this year’s final day on
7 July, it was decided the
event could not go ahead.
The final will be
rescheduled so that none
of the pupils miss out on
their chance to take part.
Because of the school
summer holidays however,
it is now likely to go ahead
in September.

resident will be
the driving force
behind the colour
and excitement of the
2012 Paralympic Games
opening ceremony.
Jenny Sealey, Artistic
Director of groundbreaking, disabled-led
theatre company Graeae,
has been appointed Joint
Artistic Director of the
ceremony, along with
Bradley Hemmings,
Artistic Director of
Greenwich+Docklands
Festivals (GDiF).
The pair have a history
of staging shows together,
including work by deaf
and disabled artists.
Jenny has lived in
Hackney for 25 years and
worked at Graeae since
1998. She oversaw the
company’s move into a
state-of-the-art venue next
to the Geffrye Museum
in Kingsland Road in
2009 – the same year that

Mandy Colleran, one of Graeae’s Rhinestone Rollers – a powerwheelchair dancing troupe – in their latest show ‘Wheels On Broadway’

services to disability arts.
Jenny said: “Bradley
and I both love a good
story and create work with
a strong narrative. We
aim to bring together the
greatest deaf, disabled and
non-disabled performers to
create an aural and visual
feast that will never be
forgotten. I can’t wait to
get to work to make 2012
the greatest show ever.”
The appointment was
announced on 24 June
before a performance
at the GDiF of a Graeae
touring production, an
adaptation of Ted Hughes’
‘The Iron Man’, directed
by Jenny.
She is passionate about
finding new theatrical
voices, and Graeae shows
always fuse British Sign
Language and audio
description as an integral
part of the action.
Admitting that she can’t
imagine living anywhere
other than Hackney, she
added of the ceremony:
“The sheer diversity of this
wonderful borough means
diversity will be core to
our ethos as will equality,
quality and inclusion.”
The Paralympic opening
ceremony – set to take
place on 29 August 2012 –
traditionally starts with the
raising of the Paralympic
and host nation’s flags,
and includes an athletes’
parade and speeches. The
Games are then declared
open and oaths are taken
by representatives of
the athletes and judges.
Finally, the Paralympic
flame is used by the last
torchbearer to light the
cauldron.
Paralympic ticket
applications are open from
9 to 30 September 2011.

TEACHERS from Hackney schools were invited to BBC
Television Centre for a preview of the 2012 edition of the
BBC’s annual School Report.
The scheme has run for six years, encouraging young
people to file reports via their school websites to the BBC.
More than 800 schools contributed reports last year.
Several Hackney schools are already signed up for next
year, and Hackney Free pupils have produced a report
on their PE Teacher, Daniel Davies, who hopes to be
selected for the 2012 hurdling team.
Helen Shreeve, BBC School Report editor, said: “Hackney
young people are experts on what is happening during
2012. For example, one of the big events is the BBC
Radio 1 concert on Hackney Marshes; we want young
people to report on that.”
News day 2012 takes place on 15 March, but the
BBC wants students to report throughout the year.
Participating schools get access to regular School Report
e-mails, invitations to briefing events, access to learning
resources, and the chance to take part in regular training
days with BBC staff. For more information, e-mail:

Hackney is one of the most diverse places in
the UK. In this regular feature, we profile the
borough’s great & good or just plain interesting
Not upsetting
the apple cart
F
OR Tom Baker,
founder of the
Field Day and
Underage festivals,
it’s almost impossible to
pick his ideal headliners.
“Radiohead would be the
obvious one, Kraftwerk,
Burial, and a Bob Dylan
acoustic set,” says the Stoke
Newington resident after a
long, deliberating pause.
Adding: “If I can have
dead people too, then it’ll
be Jimi Hendrix, Miles
Davis and Ali Farka
Touré. That would make a
fantastically eclectic set.”
Tom has been putting
on music events around
the borough and beyond
for over a decade – with
the first festival being at
Hackney City Farm in
2001. He says: “It has all
been very organic, there
was no real game plan to
make money. We started
out as very hand to mouth,
then gradually built into
something.”
His firm Eat Your
Own Ears, based in
Shacklewell Studios, E8,
showcases musicians from
independent record labels
like Domino and Rough
Trade, and cherry picks
some of the best new acts
to perform locally and
around the country.
His club and gig nights
are solely devoted to cutting
edge music, while successful
festivals like Field Day
add countryside charm –
influenced by his Somerset
background. Think electric
guitars and dub-step
alongside hay bales and
country dancing.
Tom says: “I wouldn’t
put on bands just to sell
tickets, they are always
bands I really like. I’d put
on The Temper Trap or
Florence and the Machine
with some quirky folk
act from Fife and a weird
art project to embrace
everything. Some events
make money, some lose
money, some break even,
it’s just about getting the
balance right.”
Which might go some
way towards explaining
Field Day’s development.
Now a treasure trove for
discovering some of the best
bands across the musical
spectrum, the festival’s
early years were dogged by
teething problems, bad luck
and worse weather.
Tom explains: “Field Day
has been a steep learning
curve, but the more events
you put on, the more you
improve. Last year was
amazing weather, but
we can’t control that.
Everything went really
smoothly. It’s exciting to
build an event and make
it better.”

I love it here, I don’t know

There’s a real sense of
community around Hackney
This year a new downtempo Sunday festival,
The Apple Cart, has been
added to the roster focusing
more on comedy, magic
and art (with some music)
and featuring Tim Minchin
and Mark Steel among the
stars. While the Underage
festival, which this year
boasts Janelle Monae
and CocknBullKid,
continues to be a big hit
with young people.
Tom says: “It’s
difficult to pick what I’m
looking forward to the
most because each day
is different. Underage
always has an amazing
atmosphere, Field Day has
an incredible line-up, and
I’m interested to see how
comedy and magic works
at The Apple Cart.”
Tom has lived in the
borough with his partner
for the past 10 years. And
being a local promoter, gig
venue Café Oto, as well
as new music venues like
Shacklewell Arms and
Vortex Jazz Bar, are always
on his radar, if not working
directly with owners.
He says: “I love it here,
and I don’t know where
else I’d live. There’s
just a really great sense
of community around
Hackney that’s quite
special; great restaurants,
new cafes, pop-up events
and exciting things
happening everywhere.”

All your recycling
questions answered
Q: Can I use supermarket carrier bags marked
‘biodegradable’ to line my blue food recycling bin?
A: Plastic carrier bags cannot be used in your Blue Bin;
even the ones that say ‘biodegradable’. This is because
they cause problems in the
recycling process.
If you would like to line
your blue bin, you can
use special compostable
liners, available from local
stockists.
The Blue Bin scheme is
a weekly collection
of kitchen
scraps,
which
are then
composted.
The service is available to street level properties across
Hackney. To find out more about recycling food waste, or

Eileen Bellot was one of the volunteers with her hands full clearing floating pennywort down on the River Lee with Thames21
Weed it and reap
OLUNTEERS
removed nine
cubic metres of
floating pennywort
from the River Lee near
Springfield Marina on 3
July.
It was the first in a series
of events, run by charity
Thames21, to improve
the ecology of the River
Lee, with support from
the Environment Agency.
Floating pennywort is a
non-native, invasive species,
which is choking the river.
The weed is spreading and
taking over by feeding on
nutrients in polluted water.
V
The events are part of
Thames21’s ‘Love the
Lee’ campaign to
encourage people
to help reduce
pollution. Top tips
include switching
to phosphate-free
detergents and
checking to see if their
home has misconnected
pipes that flow directly into
the river.
Thames21 coordinator,
Vicky D’souza, said:
“Individuals can make a
real difference. I would
encourage everyone that
wants to be able to enjoy the
on the day. All equipment is
provided, under-16s should
be accompanied by an adult.
Research by University
College London has
shown high levels of
pollution in the Lee. It is
believed to be caused by
overflow from a sewage
treatment plant during
heavy rains.

come along, lend a hand and
have some fun.”

Local park wins £45k funds
A SMALL park in
Stoke Newington has
received over £45,000 in
development funding to
plan restoration work.
The two-and-a-half acre
West Hackney Recreation
Ground on Manse Road,
N16, incorporates St
Paul’s Churchyard and
Old Burial Ground. It is
hoped that, when work
www.hackney.gov.uk
is complete, community
groups and schools
studying local history and
the environment will use
the site, alongside passersby and commuters
seeking a tranquil spot.
The Heritage Lottery
Fund (HLF) and Big
Lottery Fund awarded
the money so that a
partnership of West
Hackney Parochial
Charity, Groundwork,
London, the Council and
residents could develop
a second stage application
for £639,200 to carry out
the renovation works.
The plans also include
a new children’s play
area, which the London
Marathon Trust has
already pledged to fund.
Graves will also be
repaired and the park’s
original planting designs
recreated.
Reverend Niall Weir,
Rector of St Paul’s
Church, said: “For four
years now we’ve been
dreaming of how, one
day, this site might once
again be an open green
space, here in the heart
West Hackney Recreation Ground is set for renovation
of West Hackney, that
will provide a historical
and recreational focus
right in the heart of our
community.”

A whole lot of transforming
RESIDENTS on two
Hackney estates have been
putting their green fingers
to work transforming
derelict sites into bountiful
gardens.
An empty site at
Amhurst Park estate,
N16, was transformed
last year and another
garden at Samuel Lewis
Trust, on Amhurst
Road, E8, was officially
launched in June.
Vacant Lot is a
three-year Lottery
funded project, run in
conjunction with London
housing associations,
and aimed at converting
unused areas into
communal food growing
plots for residents.
Over the past two years
Southern Housing Group
has worked in partnership
Resident Gabriel Hayward stands among gardens at the Vacant Lot project in Amhurst Road, Hackney
with Groundwork
London and What if:
projects Ltd on 20 sites
across Hackney, Islington
and Camden. Residents
and volunteers helped
clear the sites before
large, compost-filled, bulk
bags or wooden planters
were installed. Gardening
workshops were held,
showing residents how
to maintain the plots
including the watering
and weeding of plants.

Win a pair of tickets
to see FELA!
Following a sell-out season at the National Theatre and
a Tony Award-winning Broadway run, FELA! heads to
Sadler’s Wells for the summer.
Co-produced by Jay-Z, Will Smith & Jada Pinkett Smith,
FELA! tells the life story of legendary afrobeat pioneer
Fela Kuti through dance and music.
Fela found his authentic musical voice adding elements
of traditional Yoruba, highlife, and jazz, giving rise to
afrobeat. Through his music he condemned military
regimes in Nigeria for their mismanagement, and the
marginalisation of the underprivileged.
Fela died in August 1997 at the age of 58 – in Nigeria
one million people attended his funeral. FELA! runs at
Sadler’s Wells Theatre, Rosebery Avenue, EC1R 4TN
from 20 July to 28 August. For more info, call: 0844 412

long tradition of political dissent.
“The protest movement in Egypt goes
back for more than a century,” says event
organiser Chris Sharp. “Folk music has
been one of the main channels of dissent
and helped to sustain the networks of
activism since well before the Mubarak era,”
he added. From the renowned composer
Mustafa Said, to the viral internet hit and
‘Billy Bragg’ of the Egyptian revolution,
event, performed and directed
by recent graduates of
Guildhall School of Music and

accounts of imprisonment and torture, Sharp
hopes to sustain the world’s attention on a
struggle that is still far from finished.
“This is the first time almost any of the

Shoreditch’s Village Underground.
The group hailing from Colombia found
success for their exuberant pan-tropical
compositions and traditional South American
folk pounded into dance music beats.
While their name, ‘Stereo Bomb’ in
English, fits in with the high-energy live
performances and at times bonkers music,
their firm grasp of melody usually keeps
them away from riotous cacophony.
Console geeks may have heard reggaeton
hit ‘Fuego’ used in a FIFA football game
but the band’s last album also has a
few other gems: ‘Cosita Rica’ takes
influence from psychedelia and ‘Juana’
screams beach house hit. Plus expect
a presentation of new tracks off their
EP – but the jury is still out on their

Hackney school gets a respray
A 16-METRE long mural
celebrating diversity
in Hackney has been
painted at Downsview
special school.
Sixth formers from
Clapton Girls’ Technology
College put the finishing
touches to their ‘We
are Hackney’ mural,
concluding a nine-month
business project to promote
the borough.
The students are part
of the charity Envision’s
schools programme which
supports young people to
design and deliver their
own social action projects
over the course of a year.
Calling themselves Tick
4 Change, the team won
£500 funding and raised
a further £500 to see their
project come to fruition.
They then recruited artists
from Soulful Gallery,
which specializes in graffiti
art, who helped them
design and install the mural
at the Hackney Downs
school. It features images of
local landmarks including
parks and the Rio Cinema
in Dalston.

students, some of whom have been offered places at top
institutions including the London College of Fashion.
There was also the chance to find out about local services
and organisations and learn about London 2012 jobs from
Games organisers.
During the evening, HCC alumni – including awardwinning vibraphonist Orphy Robinson and saxophonist Ray
Carless – gave performances.
Principal Ian Ashman said: “It was a
thoroughly enjoyable day. I’d like
to thank everyone involved
in running our biggest
and best annual
student showcase.
The music night was
a new addition this
year, and one that
we’ll be repeating

THE architects behind the new Lauriston Primary School
scooped three honours at the British Council for School
Environments awards.
Designed by Meadowcroft Griffin Architects, the E9
school won the Best of British Primary School Award for
excellence in design for teaching and learning; was named
joint winner for the Best of British Healthy Schools Award
for excellence in the provision of dining and outdoor play
facilities; and was commended as the Best of British Green
School Award for sustainable school of the year.
An £8.2million project to rebuild Lauriston, jointly funded
by Hackney Council and the Government, was completed
in 2010. New features include improved ventilation
and use of natural light, an all-weather area the size
of a sports hall and a façade designed by Turner Prize
nominee Liam Gillick. Lauriston was the first primary to
be rebuilt in the borough for 30 years.

Dare to be different
By James Bryce, 25
FASHION can be a
powerful form of identity.
But do people judge us by
the way we dress?
As you walk down the
streets of London you
might be taken aback by
the way some people dress
these days. It is human
nature for us to judge each
other on the way we dress.
Everyone has a different
reason for the way they
choose their ‘get-up’, it
might be for personal
comfort or it might be to
fit in with our mates.
Whatever the reason,
it is to do with our
individuality. Some of the
YH World team took to
the streets to find out if
we judge each other on
the way we dress.
Michelle, Gabriel
and Akeine learnt that
everybody they asked
agreed that you judge
and get judged on your
clothes when you walk
down the streets of
London. It’s a way to
express yourself and a
way to show off your
original or eccentric
persona. The number
of styles in this day
and age is unknown
and you won’t be
able to put a name
on half of them.
This is a question
we all should
consider. We
are all different – if we
weren’t the world would
be pretty boring. Do you
dare to be different?
FORMER world champion boxer Richie Woodhall (below) has
hosted a coaching clinic in Hackney.
The retired super-middleweight
also spoke to young people
at the Lion Club in Pitfield
Street, N1, about his
experiences, and
the challenges he
has faced. He said:
“The message of
my presentation is
that you have to show
dedication, determination,
perseverance and selfbelief. The theme of the talk
was boxing but the principles can
be applied to any area of life or work. The group were very
engaged and I look forward to hearing about their progress in
the future.”
The event was organised through The Social Change
Network and Fight4Change, a charity set up by Richie.
Fight4Change uses boxing and fitness activities to engage
young people and further develop them around the
education, employment and training agenda.
The Social Change Network is a London-wide initiative that
uses sport to encourage social change. Its work in Hackney
will initially focus on the Queensbridge area.

News in brief
Your views on care charges
RESIDENTS who receive community care services from the
Council are being asked for their views on plans to change
how much they pay towards their care.
The Fairer Charging Policy consultation is aimed at people
who use services, including people who receive help at
home with preparing food or with washing; people who
attend day care centres; and those in receipt of personal
budgets. Carers, service providers, Council staff, partners
and residents are also being consulted.
The policy follows national guidance on how local
authorities should charge for non-residential care services
and how that is calculated by taking into consideration
service users’ disposable income and benefits.
Cllr Jonathan McShane, Cabinet Member for Health, Social
Care and Culture, said: “The Council currently has one of
the lowest charging policies in London for its community
care services, but we have not reviewed our charging
policy since 2002. Our main aim is to protect those who
are unable to pay for their care and ensure that those who
can contribute towards the cost of their care do so.”
The consultation runs until 10 October. Service users
should receive information packs directly. Information
is available in a variety of formats including versions in
easy read, Braille and large print. For more details call:
020 8356 6244. To take part in the consultation online,

The 18-year-old said: “It
has completely changed my

silently providing someone
with some company.”
Raksha Dattani, head
of volunteering, added:
“Volunteers provide
a crucial link between
the hospice and the
community. They bring
knowledge, skills and
passion to their role.”

OLDER residents heard about preventative measures to
help avoid falls and improve their quality of life at Hackney
Stop Falls Network’s latest event on 29 June.
The aim was to raise awareness of the links between
eye-sight and falls by offering workshops on sensory
awareness and how to create a safer home environment.
Anstey Bligh, network co-ordinator, pointed to Age
UK research suggesting that, although many factors
contribute to falls, vision is among the most important.
She said: “Not only does reduced vision cause obvious
difficulties in spotting hazards or uneven ground, it can
affect balance, co-ordination and mobility, which can
increase the risk of falling and accelerate a reduction in
muscle strength.”
Hackney Stop Falls Network connects residents to local
services that can help them reduce the chances of
having a bad fall. The event formed part of National Falls
Awareness Week, from 20 to 24 June.

Death beds
Clockwise from above: Watercolour of the watercress beds in Morning Lane by G W Toussaint, 1863; OS map from 1890s showing
how the beds had been built upon; OS map from 1870 showing the beds still in situ; newspaper clipping about a drowning in 1759;
an Illustrated London News picture of Hackney Station (now Hackney Central) and the watercress beds, 1851
F you want to buy
watercress in Morning
Lane these days, you
might well end up in the
local Tesco supermarket.
But over a century ago,
you would have been able
to pick your own on the
same site. The area’s fertile
soils made it an ideal place
for market gardeners to
supply the City with fresh
fruit and vegetables, and this
combined with a plentiful
supply of water also made
it a good location for
watercress beds.
John Roque’s 1745
map of Hackney shows
how rural the area was at
that time, with Hackney
Brook flowing freely above
ground amongst orchards
and pastures. There were
watercress beds at Pond
Lane (now Millfields
Road), but the most
extensive lay between
the north side of
Morning Lane and
Hackney Brook.
Watercress
production is
thought to have
taken place in
the area since
medieval times,
but in the 19th
century things began to
change. The coming of the
I
railways in the 1840s and
the culverting of the floodprone Hackney Brook were
setbacks to production, but
the industry still continued.
In his 1874 book ‘The
Wilds of London’, James
Greenwood includes a
description of a Hackney
watercress seller he met one
cold November morning.
‘That bent-backed old
fellow whom we now see
looming in the evening
twilight (and sober and
punctual man that he is, he
invitably is seen looming
at this time), is not a
picturesque object, and
his shrill harsh voice as he
shrieks “Wa-ter kree-eses”
is decidedly owlish … He is
76 next birthday, and has
been a soldier.’
When Greenwood asked
why the old man didn’t buy
his cress at the market,
he was told that it was
cheaper to get it
fresh, making as
much as three or
fourpence
difference
to a day’s
takings.
Over the
next 20
years however, the
Morning Lane beds were
decimated. It was now more
profitable to build
on land than
to farm it,
and by the
1890s many
beds were
lost under
new houses in
Chalgrove Road.
The death-knell
for what remained of the
Hackney watercress beds
came in 1903, when there
were two major outbreaks
of typhoid. Of 110 cases, 35
resulted in death. The report
of the Borough’s Medical
Officer for Health, J. King
Warry, on the progress of
the epidemic and his work
to identify the source makes
fascinating reading.
Discounting milk, ice
cream, fried fish, shellfish,
and defects in drainage as
possible culprits, Warry
pinpointed a high incidence
of watercress eaters among
the victims. He traced the
cress as having come from
beds on the
border of
Hackney
and West
Ham which
were irrigated
by the River
Lea, ‘so that
practically the
West Ham beds
are fed by almost
undiluted sewage’.
The local watercress
industry never recovered,
and the remaining beds
were eventually turned into
building plots.
Chalgrove Road was
badly bombed during
the Second World War
and housing demolished
in the 1980s. A 1997
archaeological evaluation
prior to the site being
redeveloped into a
supermarket located the
last traces of the beds and
the marshy ground in
which watercress once
grew so well.
