Dalston Square: A Stage Through Time
Hackney History Festival is back for another year to highlight the borough’s rich and diverse past to life at venues across Hackney. Come along to participate in talks, walks, and guided tours showcasing some of the area’s most iconic buildings and spaces.
About This Event
For nearly 150 years, the site to the east of Dalston Junction Station served the entertainment needs of a changing population in Hackney. Drawing on research and contributions from a number of local historians, as well as his own research on the area, Archivist Etienne Joseph will explain how land originally cleared to make way for a new railway station in Dalston was transformed into a circus, a theatre and a cinema space before evolving into dynamic music venues hosting international artists and supporting the development of music and youth culture in East London.
