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 the side of The Beehive Dining Rooms at 24 Albert Road on the corner of Auberon Street. Its hoarding promises TEA COFFEE & COCOA ALWAYS READY and the shop window, which appears to be steamed up, has signs offering a pot of tea for 3d, eggs and bacon, and a range of R White's products, namely their Ginger Beer, Hop Ale, Ginger Ale, Lemonade, and Kaola. The surrounding columns and panelling under the shop window appear to have a dark marble finish. A street sign above the hoarding shows Auberon Street. The door to the right of view and windows to the shop's side elevation are believed to comprise its residential part. Renumbered as 280 Albert Road before the 1901 Census, the shop was run by Margaret Heaslip, wife of Michael Heaslip a carman and contractor both from Ireland, at that time having two teenage sons and three labouring or tradesmen lodgers living in. The shop window's removed shutters are shown leaning against the wall, and chalk writing and marks show that children have been playing in the street. Handwriting to the foot of the image states 'Side View no 24 Albert Road Photographed by S B Bolas & Co'. The North Woolwich Congregational Chapel stood on the opposite corner of Auberon Street. Although some damage from wartime bombing was recorded, a post-war OS map shows the building as still standing, but the site has since been redeveloped as the low-rise housing cul de sac at Winifred Street.
