View of Commercial Road
Description
A view looking west along Commercial Road, Stepney, taken from the north side of the street alongside what was the Ford Zenith Car showroom. The Ford Zenith building has since been demolished and Dryden House now occupies the site. The clock tower of what was Gardiners' Department store can be seen in the distance. Gardiners' was destroyed by fire in 1972. Morrison Buildings South, 60 Commercial Road, built by the Improved Industrial Dwellings Co Ltd in the early 1870s is on the south side of the road. Stock-brick built in an Italianate nature, with open balconies, this block with 54 flats stood until the 1970s. A smaller identical block of 30 flats, Morrison Buildings North, 35a Commercial Road, was built opposite on the north side of Commercial Road. Located just beyond Ford Zenith and hidden beyond the Esso sign seen here, this block still stands today. The Castle (formerly Dover Castle) can be seen on the left, just by Goodman's Stile and the Gunmaker's Companys' Proof House. There are pedestrians both sides of the street and vehicles parked at the traffic lights in the distance.
