Numbers 46-50 Commercial Road, Stepney, The Gunmakers' Company's Proof House Complex. The Gunmakers' Company has been located at this site since 1675. The Proof Master's House at number 50, to the left on the corner with Gowers Walk, and the single-storey Receiving House at number 48, were rebuilt in their current form between 1826-27. The Proof Master's House is of conventional three-storey design, constructed in stock brick, with a round-headed ground-floor window, gauged-brick arch heads and a stuccoed door architrave and cornice. The Proof House itself is located directly behind this building. The Receiving House has a stucco-framed three-bay facade, stock-brick built with four pilasters framing openings, including a central entrance with consoles to a segmental pediment. A rectangular panel atop the entablature reads "The Proof House of the Gunmaker's Company of the City of London. Established by Charter Anno Domini 1637". There is a flag flying on the pole above. A telephone box sits between the Receiving House and the Gunmakers' Company Hall, which is next door at number 46. The hall was built by the Company in 1871. It was sold in 1927 and let to the Order Achei Brith and Shield of Abraham Friendly Society. Sold by the United Jewish Friendly Society in 1976, to the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, it was finally reacquired by the Gunmakers' Company in 2007. The two-storey double-fronted hall is stock-brick built with Portland stone dressings including an arch-headed central door surround and a pierced cornice balustrade. The three buildings were given a Grade II group listing in 1973; listing number 1239992. Just visible to the right is an entrance column of an NCP carpark on the site of the former Commercial Road Goods Depot of the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway Company. This, and the building to the left of Gowers walk no longer exist. Apartment blocks now occupy their sites.
