   By 1970 there were just nine cinemas in Hackney and by 1980 only three remained. When I left the Rio in 1989, it was down to one: the Rio was the only cinema still operating in the borough. But again leisure patterns have changed, and that number has now doubled.

   What was life like in Hackney in the 1970s?

   • It was not a place you would want to be after dark – there was often fighting on the streets, and you had to be careful taking photos as you would get screamed at and chased down the road. It felt like Victorian London at times. Homeless people were commonly referred to as hobos, tramps, or vagrants back then – strange days indeed. Hackney, 1970s.

   • The Servant (1963) Drama. Director Joseph Losey. Hackney-born Harold Pinter knew more than most about tightening the thumbscrews on a drama, and his screenplay for ‘The Servant’ – adapted from a 1948 novella – is a classic example.
   • It Always Rains on Sunday (1947) Director Robert Hamer. In a city still reeling from the Blitz, a married woman, played by Googie Withers, must contend with the reappearance of an old flame ex-con (John McCallum).
   • Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949) Comedy. Director Robert Hamer. Sooner or later, every Londoner comes to learn their place within our city’s pecking order.
   • Peeping Tom (1960) Thrillers. Director Michael Powell. The film that single-handedly destroyed the career of Britain’s finest filmmaker, Michael Powell, ‘Peeping Tom’ is twisted, voyeuristic and brilliant.
