The 9th Stoke Newington History Event was held on the 25th of February in St Matthias Halls. It was great to see the hall packed and as always, the evening offered an eclectic mix of topics, from Stoke Newington’s pub rock venues of the 1970s, to an unseen collection of photos of the area taken by Frederick Arthur Wirth to my virtual tour of Church Street using archival material.

Here are the presentation slides of the three talks and videos of two of them:
