View of Clegg Street
Description
A view of Clegg Street, Plaistow, as seen from High Street. Behind the buildings on the right of the photograph is the turning into Cromer Street, which once led to Jeyes Sanitary Compounds Ltd works in Richmond Street. The works, founded in 1885, produced Jeyes Fluid disinfectant and was built on the estate of Richmond House, an early nineteenth-century house which was home to Reverend John Curwen who owned Curwen Press. The house was demolished in 1930. In the street can be seen Victorian terraced houses. A corrugated iron fence at the end of the terrace borders a piece of land where industrial buildings once sat. On the right, by Clegg Street is a gated driveway beside industrial buildings. The two 1960s tower blocks visible in the distance in Queen's Road West are Scott House (on the left) and Willett House (on the right). Among the various vehicles visible in the street are a lorry, a van, and cars including a Ford Anglia and a Ford Zephyr. The nineteenth-century houses and industrial buildings no longer survive; two- and three-storey housing dating from the 1970s now fills the street. Cromer Street no longer exists.
