Absolutely superb mate. I was around at this time due to my job from the age of 18 and I maintain to this day that Stokey was where I "grew up". Make no mistake, my familial areas of "growing up" in London were no picnic from childhood, but doing a job that involved some enforcement of laws (not policing) in Hackney formed my life afterwards. Hackney is a magnet for me - I still go back to visit.

I squatted in Clapton and lived in Stokey for a while, I've never been back, I doubt it will be the same now, At the squat the council gave us anything we needed to fix the place up, free window glass, locks for the doors and took our rubbish away, they took the attitude if we lived there it wouldn't fall to bits or get set on fire, the estate was the one just off Southwold road, it had 500 empty homes back then, no one would live there except us, got to say Hackney council was great to us back then, when the estate was eventually refurbished they left our house to last,

@@rashidugradar8606 Oh yes it brought it all back, I remembered how boarded up everything was and also the metal fencing everywhere. But things had more character and people just wore what was comfortable without being in a uniform. A bit ramshackle, but gatherings and laughter were everywhere. I miss the Rastas, and the sound systems; walking down the street and hearing Music from shops and cars; I LOVE Reggae and Dub especially, I'm White and thank the fact that I was born and brought up here and was exposed to it early on, over 40 years of loving it! The Yuppies started moving into Hoxton Square in the early 90's and it was the beginning of the end!

It has been completely destroyed to how I once knew it to be growing up in Stokey as a child. Completely gentrified by those ghastly yuppies moving in and destroying the fabric of what a fantastic place Stokey once used to be. I ended up feeling an outsider in my own area and feeling alien to what it had become due to gentrification. Clissold Park now runs the tennis courts by bureaucrats that never used to be the case. Yuppies are bad news wherever they go. Sorry but it’s true.
