A Street Through Time – The Evolution of Stoke Newington Church Street

On January 15, 2021December 23, 2022 By amirdIn Uncategorized

I’ve used Flourish.Studio and data from my Church St occupancy survey 1847-2021 to create an animated ‘race chart’ showing the most common businesses by type in Stoke Newington Church St since 1847. You can view it in action and interact with it here.

17.02.2021 – An appearance in Landscape Artist of the Year on Sky Arts

Amir Dotan

I’ve lived in Stoke Newington in the London Borough of Hackney since 2002 and became interested in its history in 2011.

A history buff from a young age, I research Stoke Newington’s rich colourful past as a hobby, collecting and sharing material from archives, online resources, books and private collections. I was a local history adviser on BBC’s Antique Roadshow, Sky Arts’ Landscape Artist of the Year and Channel 5’s Jay Blades – No Place Like Home.

In 2016 I launched ‘Stoke Newington History Talks‘; a reoccurring event every few months featuring three local history talks. Subscribe to the mailing list to be notified about upcoming events.
