View of four-storey with attic rooms and basements houses at 43 and 44 Wellclose Square, Whitechapel, in the former Metropolitan Borough of Stepney, looking east, and a shop at number 42. Numbers 42 and 43 was the former home of George Edgar Weston, a builder from c1880 into the 1930s, who was responsible for several house-replacement projects, including warehouses at numbers 40, 9, 13 to 14, and finally 10 to 12. One of the 'notables' on Reverend Daniel Greatorex's committee, which established St Paul’s Whitechapel Church of England Primary School in the Square along with others in the area, including John Butler, a haberdasher, who lived at 42 Wellclose Square. The houses include 44 to 45 Clifford House (rebuilt c1899 to a design by architect John Robert Smith), on the left. Also a block of 24 flats built of pale brick with curved gauged brick arches with key stones above the window and semi-circular arches above the entrance doors and a cornice, and a curved pediment above the central dormer window. Numbers 42 and 43 have a far simpler design with a red brick fascia and flat gauged arches, with a pediment and curved arch above, and pilasters either side of the entrance of 43. Two boys can be seen, on the far right, outside the boarded-up shop front of Nunn, Ridsdale and Company, ship lamp manufacturers, one wearing what appears to be a Guy Fawkes homemade mask, and a balaclava. Boxes can be seen randomly piled up at the top of the shop window, above the boarding.
