Object history
The Hoxton Trust was established in 1983 as a community development to address the physical environment of the local area.
As well as renovating three buildings, there was a piece of land next to number 156 Hoxton Street, where a row of shops used to be which had stood derelict for over 30 years. This was landscaped and turned into a community Garden. This is still known as the Hoxton Trust Community Garden.
The garden's distinctive clock tower is a unique feature of the garden. It was taken from the Eastern Fever Hospital which was being demolished to make way for the Homerton University Hospital in 1982
