    IMAGE SOURCE,NEIL MARTINSON

    During the 1970s and first half of the 80s photographer Neil Martinson recorded the lives of those who lived and worked in Hackney, east London.


    At that time, children still played in the street and on old bomb sites yet to be developed.


    Indeed, some of the pictures were taken when Martinson himself was still at school, using a Zenith-E camera, which he describes as "everything a boy could want from a camera".


    "It had lots of knobs and dials and they all had a satisfying clunk when operated," he says.


    "Hackney was a place to leave, with its crumbling council estates and high unemployment.


    "Yet there was vitality and resilience among local people.


    "Few people owned their own homes.


    "There were no gated communities and no gastropubs.


    "Students, radicals and artists started to move into Hackney.


    "It was an exciting time to be a photographer and activist."

    Image caption,"It was common to see children playing on the streets in the 1970s," says Martinson. "The lack of traffic, and very different attitudes, gave children a freedom that seems quite remote now. My own memory was of going out to play all day long and my parents having no idea of where I was or what I was doing."

    The accident is commonly blamed on mistaking pounds for kilograms, which resulted in the aircraft carrying only 45% of its required fuel load.
    Interesting.
