“Saving Clissold Park: The two-year battle to secure public use” in London Landscapes, Spring 2018 issue

I’ve lived in Stoke Newington in the London Borough of Hackney since 2002 and became interested in its history in 2011. I research the area’s rich colourful past as a hobby, collecting and sharing material from archives, online resources, books and personal collections.

I enjoy giving talks on various topics relating to Stoke Newington’s past and organise ‘Stoke Newington History Talks‘; a quarterly event featuring myself and two guest speakers.
