Following the canal upstream the bridge marks the transition from Bethnal Green to Hackney through what was once an intensely industrial and extremely impoverished area of London. On the left of the image can be seen an opening that presumably led to a wharf or warehouse. The canal was itself an essential artery of transport for the very building materials that were needed for construction and development.
