Title
House in Rhodeswell Road
Description
Side view of 35 Rhodeswell Road, Limehouse, viewed from Apostle Road looking north-west. Although the address is 35 Rhodeswell Road, the front door is on Apostle Road as is the double back gate. There is a metal stabiliser bolt in the wall. This house is two-storey but the house behind it at 72 Apostle Road is three-storey and also has a double back gate. Between the two gates, a cricket wicket is chalked on the wall. Both buildings have flat roofs and there is a metal railing round the roof of 72 Apostle Road. On the left of the photo, an alley leading to the Grand Union Canal (Regent’s Canal) tow path and a shop at 36 Rhodeswell Road are visible. The shop has an advert for Wills’s Star cigarettes above its shop window. These buildings and Apostle Road no longer exist. The site was included in the Locksley Estate development in 1957-58 and is now part of Mile End Park.
