People and Power on the City’s Doorstep
A free walk by Hackney Guiding Association as part of Local London Guiding Day.
How
does Hoxton’s past inform its present and future? Compare almshouses and
council housing, parks, libraries, music halls, a power station and Hoxton
market. Consider how the powerful provided for the poor, and where their wealth
came from! Hear about plague pits, workhouses and non conformism. Discover what
is meant by ‘More light, More Power!’
Meeting point is Hoxton Station
End point is Joe Whites Gardens, Pitfield St (not too long a walk from Old Street)
Location
Hoxton Station, E2 8FF
