View Woollett Street, Poplar, as seen from Grundy Street, looking towards East India Dock Road. On the corner of Woollett Street is the Alma public house at 96 Grundy Street owned by Mann, Crossman and Paulin. A woman in an apron chats to a man in a cloth cap. On the other side of the street is a shop at 94 Grundy Street. On the side of the building is an advertisement board with a poster for Wills Woodbine Cigarettes. The majority of houses in Woollett Street are two-storey early nineteenth-century terraces. The rear of The Guy Earl of Warwick public house in Chrisp Street is visible on the left. Pedestrians, parked vans and cars, a telephone wire pole and street lamp post are in view. Woollett Street along with part of Grundy Street were later demolished and replaced by blocks of flats and commercial properties in the 1960s. A pedestrianised walkway called Vesey Path was laid out along the centre of Woollett Street.
