First floor gallery, Sutton House. Formerly a panelled room whose panels were damaged when the house stood empty in the 1980s. The bare walls expose the layers of history and construction once hidden by the panels. Above the doorway is this graffiti left by restorers when the house was repaired by the St John's Church Institute. It reads, "This panelling fixed by George Barnet in the month of September 1904."

In the parlour on the ground floor, Sutton House.

Homerton High Street, Hackney. The Breaker's Yard was a derelict auto breaker's yard (chop shop) -- it's been transformed into an open space with two upcycled vans, a garden, and space for community events.

Originally known as 'Bryck Place', Sutton House was built in 1535 by Sir Ralph Sadleir, Principal Secretary of State to Henry VIII, and is the oldest residential building in Hackney. It is a rare example of a red brick building from the Tudor period. Sutton House became home to a succession of merchants, sea captains, Huguenot silk-weavers, Victorian schoolmistresses and Edwardian clergy. The frontage was modified in the Georgian period, but the core remains an essentially Tudor building. Oak panelled rooms, including a rare 'linen fold' room, Tudor windows and carved fireplaces survive intact, and an exhibition tells the history of the house and its former occupants. At the turn of the 18th century, Hackney was renowned for its many schools, and Sutton House contained a boys' school, with headmaster Dr Burnet, which was attended in 1818 by the novelist Edward Bulwer-Lytton. The building next became Milford House girls' school. The name is a mis-attribution to Thomas Sutton, founder of Charterhouse School, who was another notable Hackney resident, in the adjacent Tan House. This was demolished in 1806 to allow for the extension of Sutton Place, a terrace of 16 Georgian Houses (Grade II listed).
