Title
Bow Depot Works in Bromley High Street
Description
Corporation Yard and offices at 134 and 126 Bromley High Street, Poplar, looking east. On the left is a road, once called Ammiel Terrace, leading to the River Lea. The two-storey, brick building on the left is number 134 and the building on the right is numbered 116-126. A man stands in the gated entrance to the corporation yard which has a sign on the left brick pier stating 'Bow Depot Works Department'. An indistinct chalk board sign is propped up on the window sill of number 134 probably indicating that the buildings are due for demolition. A road traffic sign indicates a left turn ahead for the Blackwall Tunnel which would have been down St Leonards Street (heading towards Rochester [via A2], Maidstone [via A20] and Sevenoaks and Hastings [viaA21]). The street is laid with rectangular cobbled setts with reflective studs inlaid down the centre. A man walks along the pavement beside a concrete lamp post. These buildings no longer exist and the area is now the A12 Blackwall Tunnel northern approach dual carriageway (constructed mid 1960s).
