Title
Houses and shop in Latimer Street and Tillotson Street
Description
The junction of Tillotson Street with Latimer Street, viewed from wasteground near Garden Street, looking west. In the right foreground is a row of two-storey terraced houses at 2-5 Tillotson Street. Number 6 is a Self Drive company’s premises and there is a man on a ladder at a first-floor window there. Next to number 6 is the back wall of the Redcoat School in Stepney Green. In the right background is a corner shop at 16 Copley Street. In the left foreground is the back of a house at 8 Latimer Street and on the other side of the street can be seen the fronts of numbers 1 and 3. There are dustbins outside both of these and a pram, a motorcycle and a car outside number 1. In the far background are two newly-built high-rise blocks of flats in Jamaica Street, which featured in the Joan Littlewood film ‘Sparrows Can’t Sing.’ There are three cars and two trucks parked in Tillotson Street; one of the trucks has a crane in the back. None of these buildings exist anymore. Tillotson, Latimer and Copley Streets were demolished, apart from Copley Street south of Stepney Way, and Stepney Green Park was built in their place in 1958-64. Part of the park is now a Crossrail construction site. The Redcoat School was renamed Sir John Cass School and moved to Stepney Way. As Sir John Cass had slave trade connections, in June 2020 it was renamed Stepney All Saints School. Stepney City Farm, established in 1979 as Stepping Stones Farm, is on the former school site. The high-rise flats were demolished in 1999-2000.
