Before the expansion of Weavers Fields park (behind the photographer), Hague Street was longer and ran from Bethnal Green Road (visible at the end of the street in this photo) down towards the railway line. Following the expansion of the park in the 1960s only this little stub remained. In the distance the former church of St James the Great, Bethnal Green, now converted to flats.
