Title
View of Whitechapel Road
Description
View looking south-east at the back of the buildings on Whitechapel Road, from Davenant Foundation School playground which is being used as a car park. A playground since 1862, it was once the eastern part of St Mary’s burial ground (disused from 1853). The car park is filled with cars, amongst them a Triumph Herald (LMX 365C) and a Ford Cortina (YJH 965F). The building with a fire escape and the one next to it are 177 Whitechapel Road. This was once part of Whitechapel Workhouse, which was acquired by The Salvation Army and was run as the Victoria Home, a hostel for homeless men, until 1984. In 1994 it was demolished and rebuilt by the Salvation Army as Victoria Court, a 'lifeboat' for homeless men.
