Title
Buildings in Commercial Road
Description
A view of numbers 2-16 Commercial Road, Stepney, with traffic stopped at traffic lights at the junction of Leman Street. A row of shops occupy the ground floors of these three and four storey buildings. Number 2, on the corner of Commercial Road and Leman Street, is the carcass of a public house destroyed by bombing in World War II. It has boarding and bill posters, and two policemen stand by a police box outside. Trolleybus cables hang above the road. These buildings, and this section of Commercial Road itself, no longer exist. Realignment of the road system has completely changed the layout of this area. For many years the site was an island enclosed within the busy Gardiners' Corner one way system. Now Wiverton Tower, Aldgate Place, a 25-storey apartment block, stands where this terrace once was. The road surface is now a pedestrianised green space named New Drum Street.
