   As families moved to new towns such as Stevenage, Harlow, Hatfield and Basildon, communities broke up and traditional work and leisure patterns eroded. Cinema-going and many other pursuits were abandoned or displaced. By 1970 there were just nine cinemas in Hackney and by 1980 only three remained.

   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.

   Why did Hackney cinemas open?

   • Many of the Hackney cinemas opened during a flurry of entrepreneurial activity just before the First World War. There were extraordinary profits to be made; it was like a gold rush and numerous speculators and opportunists were all trying to get in on the cinema act.

   Feb 28, 2018 · Hackney during the 70s. By Andra-Maria Ciupitu. February 28th, 2018. 3 Mins read. 1123.
