Can you help us identify this #London church? Photo by #RAGibson studio in 1961

[Hackney Archives @ArchivesHackney]

St Mary's Church in #StokeNewington advertising its Xmas Fair in 1955. We ❤️ the cheeky sign "Not a word to Rab" a reference to the then Chancellor of the Exchequer Rab Butler. Not sure about shorts in December tho! #taxfreeshopping #RAGibsonStudio

[Hackney Archives @ArchivesHackney]

With 150,000 images to choose from we've got a lot of favourites in the #RAGibson collection but this is one of our absolute faves ❤️: wedding guests, east #London (probably #Leyton), 1961. Recognise anyone? We'd love to hear from you.
