Hello and welcome to another edition of Look Around London.
00:05
Stonebridge Garden sits in Haggerston, next to the Overground Station, and wasn't always
00:09
the green community park you can see today.
00:12
Its roots go back to what used to be Stonebridge Common, an old patch of common land.
00:18
In the 1960s, post-war redevelopment shaped the space into a public open area.
00:24
Then in 1981, a striking public art piece was added.
00:28
By 2016, the park had seen a major refurbishment.
00:32
Hackney Council commissioned a redesign, the old tarmac multi-use pitch was removed, and
00:37
a new entrance was built to connect more directly with the Haggerston estate and community residents.
00:42
When the park reopened in July 2016, it was praised by residents, especially for turning
00:48
what was once a tarmac-heavy and gritty area into a more inviting and attractive community
00:53
space.
