Title
Houses in Mape Street
Description
View of terraced houses at 2-18 Mape Street, Bethnal Green, looking north, from junction with Sale Street. Number 18 is nearest and a public house at the end is named the Prince Albert at number 2, a Barclays brewery establishment. An electricity distribution cabinet is on the corner of Sale Street and the corner house has circular wall ties to prevent the gable end wall from bowing. At the very end seen down a narrow gap is the Oxford House Club on Derbyshire Street. From its foundation in 1884 it began organizing a boys' club and 'smoke and talk' facilities for men, together with a library and lectures. In 1886 it founded the Federation of Working Men's Clubs, to have no political aims but to promote clubs providing recreation, education, and 'non-intoxicant refreshment'. Oxford House itself founded several clubs. It housed a working men's club when in the former St Andrew's National school until in 1894 it moved to the Derbyshire Street. This whole area is demolished and no longer exists and is a large recreation area named Weavers Fields.
