Albert Road is a spinal route running parallel to this stretch of the Thames, which served the substantial commercial and residential development built around the Royal Docks during the late nineteenth century. Parts of the road were either in North Woolwich, Kent, or East Ham, Essex, originally having sequences of street numbering in two directions, but all is now within the London Borough of Newham. This view shows two shops believed to have been in Albert Terrace, a three-storey development on the north side of Albert Road between the Albion pub on Claremont Street and Storey Street, just visible to the left of picture. The ground floor shop fronts appear to be extended forward from the upper floors, thought to have had space for second households in addition to the shop keepers' families. The fishmonger's shop at number 92 was run by Benjamin Maddison, originally from Crowland, Lincolnshire, who by the time of the 1901 appears to have set up as a beer retailer in Storey Street allowing his son, also a Benjamin, to run the fishmonger business. He also ran the Spotted Dog public house in Sharman Place. The shop's awning, which in addition to showing Maddison Fishmonger shows its maker to be Dunhill of Euston Road, casts a shadow obscuring most of the window display, but some fish can be seen. The blurred image of a young girl can be seen entering the shop. Some planted containers are on the shop's roof. The corner shop at number 90 was run by Charles Back, originally from Plumstead, his name just visible above the shop door. Some confectionery items can be seen displayed in the window, its painted signage showing the shop is an AGENT FOR POOLEY & Co's MILD, BITTER AND STOUT and for FRY'S CHOCOLATE. Faded signage below the window is shown advertising Kops Ale and ginger beer. The blurred image of a young girl is visible to the right of the shop door, possibly with another child on the street corner. Albert Terrace appears to have disappeared in post-war OS maps, although the site is unmarked in the 1945 bomb damage map, but the site is now occupied by the rear gardens of the modern terrace of houses in Albert Walk, which now separates Claremont Street and Storey Street from Albert Road.
