History of the Borough of Hackney
This volume brings together David Mander's previous works to provide a complete history of the London Borough of Hackney. Ranging from the earliest settlements in Roman times, right up to the present day, the book describes how the borough changed from a country parish into the rich and diverse community it is today at the beginning of the 21st century. Within its pages are many hundreds of photographs of the streets, pubs, local characters, industry, churches and schools, along with extensive captions and historical information from the author. David Mander has brought together a revealing selection of rare images and drawn on his special knowledge of the area's history to create this portrait of one of London's most interesting boroughs.

Drawing on the documentary sources and visual collection of Hackney's Archives Department, this text tells the story of Hackney from Roman times, describing how it changed from a country parish to today's diverse community. Hackney has a reputation for radicalism in religion and politics, but also has a long history as a place of innovation. The 17th-century diarist, Samuel Pepys, tasted his first orange in a Hackney garden, and the plant nurseries of Hackney contributed to the development of new plant species and garden designs. Among Hackney's industries were pioneers in the manufacture of paint and plastics, while petrol was first so named at Hackney Wick.
