Looking north along Chrisp Street, Poplar, at the crossroads with Grundy Street. The sign for Tetley Street is visible above a doorway on the right just behind a hanging lamp advertising a Taylor Walkers public house (The London Stores beer house at number 28 Chrisp Street). In the foreground on the left, at number 33, are the shuttered premises of Harry Neave Ltd, house furnishers. Also visible on the wall next to an empty, rubbish-strewn plot is a sign for Owen Bros., groceries. Various other street signs can be seen, including one for Boots, the chemists. The photo was taken at the end of the famed street market, with the road still busy with pedestrians, market barrows, vans, a market trader wheeling a hand cart, road sweepers, a lady pushing a child in a perambulator, and a man on a bicycle. This whole area has now been comprehensively redeveloped. The buildings on the left were replaced by Chrisp Street Market, the UK's first purpose-built shopping precinct which was developed to showcase British architecture in the Festival of Britain of 1951. The buildings on the right are now a car park.
