EDITORS COMMENTS
A Glimpse into Hackney's Past: The Black and White House (1578-1875) The Black and White House, a historical gem nestled at the junction of Mare Street and Morning Lane in Hackney, London, stands as a testament to the rich history of this vibrant area. Built in 1578, this architectural marvel has witnessed centuries of change, serving as the residence of the esteemed Sir Thomas Vyners family in the 17th century. The Black and White House, as its name suggests, boasted an intriguing exterior, with its black timber-framed facade contrasting starkly against the white plastered walls. In the following centuries, the house was transformed into a girls' boarding school, providing education to young girls in the heart of Hackney. As the sands of time passed, the Black and White House, much like many other historical structures, succumbed to the relentless march of progress. It was eventually demolished in the late 18th century, leaving behind only memories and the stories that continue to be passed down through generations. This evocative photograph, taken in 1875, captures the essence of a bygone era. The Black and White House, though no longer in existence, continues to captivate the imagination of those who appreciate the historical significance of London's architectural heritage.
