The Earl of Devon public house at 213 Devons Road, Bromley-by-Bow, on the corner with Furze Street. This was the only building in the three-storey Victorian terrace that escaped demolition in the 1970s. At the far end of the terrace, at numbers 205-207, was the former Tryphena Mission and Poor Workroom Girls' Friend Society, which provided meals to the poor and destitute. Charlie's shop is also still visible next door to the pub. A modern block of flats in Gale Street can be seen in the distance on the left. A van drives along Devons Road towards the camera. Two pedestrians in light summer clothes walk along the pavement in front of corrugated metal hoarding. Above them a wooden canopy on scaffolding protects the street below from falling debris. A saloon car is parked outside the pub in Furze Street. The Earl of Devon was a Truman's pub, established in 1869. It is now converted into flats. The rest of the demolition site has been incorporated into Furze Green public park.
