Description
General view of front elevations of terraced houses at 170-194 Poplar High Street, Poplar, looking west from the corner of Bath Street (which no longer exists). A man in a flat cap looks into the window of number 194 which has a sign above the window advertising glass cut to order. The next two buildings appear to be residential with a wooden picket fence in front of one which has been painted white on the ground floor and iron railings in front of the other. A cooperage, established by G.W.Shaw & Sons in 1882, is seen at centre of the photograph at 188 Poplar High Street with a cast iron lamp post next to an entrance with an open wooden gate leading to a yard behind. Further down the street is an entrance gate which probably led to a Pickfords yard at 170-176 Poplar High Street. A four-wheel brewery dray wagon pulled by two horses passes by a man pushing a two-wheel hand cart with sacks on it. Litter lies in the gutter. All of the buildings in this image have since been demolished and this area is now the location of low rise social housing Norwood House and Lubbock House.
