Burned to death, Stoke Newington
Date taken: 22 January 2008
Location: St Mary (Old Church), Stoke NewingtonThe most remarkable tomb in the church-yard is that of Alderman Picket's family. It was erected in memory of his father Mr. William Picket, 1745; and Anne his mother, 1750. It commemorates also the melancholy and untimely fate of the Alderman's daughter Elizabeth, who died Dec. 11, 1781, "in consequence of her cloaths taking fire the preceding evening." The inscription adds, "Reader, if ever you should witness such an afflicting scene, recollect, that the only method to extinguish the flame is to stifle it by an immediate covering."

Hi I am writing from Margaret River in Australia. I am trying to put together some photos of my mum's past for her 90th birthday in a few weeks. She was born in Bouverie Rd and worked for the Air Ministry during the war. Is there any chance you could send me a couple of photos of buildings that might have been around when she lived there? It would give her a big thrill to see them as she says these were the happiest years of her life.
Sure - I could do that for you - it's only 10 minutes away. Do you know which number Bouverie Road she lived at?
She was born at No. 7 Bouverie Rd. Thanks so much.

About Me
Hackney Lookout used to be my chronicle of everyday lunacy in the London borough where I live. I discontinued it after deciding to make a fool of myself elsewhere. It seemed a shame to lose Hackney Lookout altogether, so I have re-opened it as a photo gallery, interspersed with the odd snatch of overheard dialogue.Some posts from the original Hackney Lookout are in this pdf. You can find more of my Hackney photos on Flickr, here.
If you also need digital copywriting, please visit my agency's site at benlocker.co.uk. I'd be delighted to help.
