Title
Buildings in Commercial Road
Description
A view of number 565 Commercial Road, Stepney, a building with a wooden support . Number 567 is a vacant site. This terrace no longer exists and the site is now a green space. Just along the terrace a sign for Watney Ales hangs where The Royal Duchess public house, 551-553 Commercial Road, once stood. Located on the corner where Old Church Road used to meet Commercial Road, The Royal Duchess was demolished and rebuilt slightly west at number 543 Commercial Road (junction of Head Street). Opened in 1963, it closed in 2015 and was demolished in 2017. Just visible opposite is The Royal Duke public house. This pub closed in 1995, after briefly being renamed Dukes. The building still stands and was used for some time as a supermarket. Across Stepney Causeway is The Silver Trumpet public house. This pub was demolished in 1973, along with all the other buildings that can be seen westward, for the construction of flats, part of the Bower Street and Lipton Street Estate. Stepney Causeway was truncated and no longer joins with Commercial Road.
