The Radical History of Hackney 
hey, great website! Particularly interesting to me as a Hackney resident.
I help run http://libcom.org which has a massive working class history section (http://libcom.org/history) including a bunch of London and Hackney stuff. If you ever wanted to duplicate any of your content on libcom, with crediting link to here, you would be very welcome as well
Thanks Steven – I’ve already ripped off some libcom content here: https://hackneyhistory.wordpress.com/2011/04/02/hackney-communist-party-1950s/
If anything on here is of use to libcom, that’s cool with me…
Hi, this is great! Fantastic resource. I administrate the radicalprintshops.org wiki if you don’t mind I’ll put a link to this on there. Did meet you briefly with Lisa R at the launch of the hackney buildings book. Cheers, Jess
Great site. People interested in radical history from the other end of the globe might be interested in checking out- http://www.australianmuseumofsquatting.org and http://www.reasoninrevolt.net.au
It would be great if you could link to the Unfinished Histories site http://www.unfinishedhistories.com as recording part of the radical history of the arts – specifically theatre from the 1960s onwards – in which Chats Palace played a part as a key Hackney alternative venue. Thanks
I’ve updated the links today – more suggestions welcome!
Very interesting site and lots of good stuff. Thanks. Glad you could use my piece on Victoria Park.
Hi, Thanks for linking to the Hackney Flashers website. Due to technical issues, the domain name is now hackneyflashers.co.uk. (not .com as previously).
We’d be grateful if you could update the link to make sure your visitors are not sent to a broken link. Thanks!
The Hackney Flashers Collective.
Great stuff, will do.
