Orangery Roof Hackney

Unlike a conservatory, glazing is not the main element of an orangery. An orangery is essentially a brick built extension with proportionately more glass than a traditional structure. Our aluminium orangery roof lights provide natural daylight to flood into your newly built extension.

Particularly popular in kitchen/diner extensions, these beautiful additions complete the modern look whilst still following traditional lines. Order your roof lanterns or orangery roof from The Walthamstow Window Company to complete the new look of your home.

Facts about Hackney

History

Hackney is a mostly low-lying area in proximity to two rivers, the Lea and the Hackney Brook. This would have made the area attractive for pastoral and arable agriculture, meaning most of the area is likely to have been deforested at an early date. There is archaeological evidence for settlement and agriculture as far back as the Stone Age.During the late Iron Age, the area was part of the territory of the powerful Catuvellauni tribe.

There will have been a network of probably minor, local roads in Hackney before the Romans conquered southern Britain after 43AD, but the areas proximity to the provincial capital, Londinium, meant that it was soon crossed by two large long-distance routes. The first was Ermine Street (modern A10) which emerged from Bishopsgate and headed north to Lincoln and York.

General Info

Hackney is a district in East London, England, forming around two thirds of the area of the modern London Borough of Hackney, to which it gives its name. It is 4 miles (6.4 km) northeast of Charing Cross, and includes part of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Historically it was within the county of Middlesex.

In the past it was also referred to as Hackney Proper to distinguish it from the village which subsequently developed in the vicinity of Mare Street, the term Hackney Proper being applied to the wider district.
