Description
View of terraced houses at 13, Poplar High Street, Poplar. On the left at 13a, with a weatherboard first floor and wooden shopfront that is currently occupied by J.S. Whale & Sons wholesale confectioners with advertising that shops and the trade supplied. According to a map from 1916 there had been a smithy at the rear of the building. On the very left, at number 9-11 Poplar High Street, is the White Horse public house with a painted advertisement billboard high on the side wall of the building for Truman's ales & stouts. On the right is a two-storey, brick built house with a porch supported by plain columns and a mansard roof with a single window. Behind a wooden picket fence, there is one downstairs front window with open shutters and three iron bollards are visible in the pavement which is strewn with discarded paper. A handwritten note on the bottom of the picture reads 'Old houses, Poplar High Street, adjoining "White Horse" P.H. c.1912'. The public house, and presumably the rest of the terrace, was demolished in 2003 and a low-rise block of flats now occupies the site, however a wooden post set into the pavement with a white horse on top marks the location.
