This image is a panned view of Image, looking northeast towards Bow. Here the GER can be seen running along behind the park between Stratford and Liverpool Street stations, and Grove Road (the A1205) can be seen passing under it. Some of the construction work on the Olympic site at Stratford can also be seen on the horizon. Curiously this image is classed as being near Bow rather than Stepney, although I feel the former is more correct than the latter. Mile End Park was originally occupied by John Wright & Sons (veneers) Ltd. Logs were delivered by barge and also some by road on the canal and from them veneers for the furniture industry were produced. Grove Road bridge was the site of the first doodlebug attack during WW2. Thanks to Alan Lewin for this information.
