Stamford hill begins at Netto?

No.
I don't believe Clapton Pond is the old village green - it's a fish pond. Not quite sure if It's older than the almshouses though. I don't think Clapton was a village - all around the pond were big posh houses and land and farms.

I like this hackney history site : you can do a walk down a virtual tudor Narrowway past the church tower and along the street... tis very cool.
And my favourite Hackney fact is that Samuel Pepys use to check out the school girls at Hackney church -he said they were better than the ones in Putney.

stamford hill starts next to abney park cematary as per the big fuck off writting in 10 foot tall letters on the side of the building will tell you... 1 Stamford Hill... and goes up to the other side of the cross roads and just beyond and is the same size as stokie...clapton is clapton from the pond on upper clapton road down to the round about which then becomes lower clapton and towards stoke newington common by the railway tracks. dalston starts where stoke newington high street becomes stoke newington road and then kingsland street dalston road...
as any fule noe...

Whilst we're on the subject of historical 'ackney, didn't Dick Turpin used to rob people travelling across London Fields? did i dream that do you know or is it true?
boohoo
No.
I understand that the highwaymen use to sit in the forests of Seven Sisters and watch the carriages coming over Stamford Hill. There is a pub on Stamford Hill called the Moll ( or Moll Cutpurse) which was a female robber - or according to one book a female highwaymen.
The road across london fields that travels through Broadway market is where they would take the sheep into central london to market so it is possible that it was a great place to rob people.
