This page is all about you, meaning the people who have shared their memories, told us about the projects, joined in with some of our ideas about exploring Hackney. Here are just a few true stories about you that have been in TimeLine.
To find out more about the hundreds of people (from the past and present days) who have featured in TimeLine, have a look at the People Index which you will find by clicking on About Us. Maybe you will spot somebody you know or remember - or even yourself! - in TimeLine.
We are keen for TimeLine to reflect as much as we can about the fabulous history of Hackney, with all its different cultures and heritages. So if you have a story to tell us about, please contact us at ebones@blueyonder.co.uk, and we can help you to tell your story on our website. To read more that we could not squeeze into the printed TimeLine, have a look at Added Extras
