Title
Houses in Old Ford Road
Description
Front elevations of terraced houses at 746-762 Old Ford Road, Poplar, looking west. The two-storey brick built terrace is set back from the pavement behind front gardens with wooden picket fencing. On the left is number 762 and behind this house are two more houses numbered 764 and 766 which are reached via the path on the left with "38" painted on the crumbling gate post and boundary wall. A single-storey building in the middle of the terrace has been incorporated into number 756 which appears to have been extended and remodelled. At the end of the street, on the corner of Wrexham Road, is an ornate cast iron lamp post and in the background on the right is a timber yard with an air shaft [identified on contemporary maps] behind. The houses overlooked the River Lea, out of frame to the right. These houses, and this section of Old Ford Road, no longer exist and are now underneath the Backwall Tunnel northern approach road.
