At the time, rooms in the manse were let to tenants to finance the work of the chapel; it is now (2014) the base of the Chalice Foundation, a Unitarian charity. Since the photograph was taken a school building has been put up to the left of the chapel, on what was then a sports ground; the main body of the school lay on the far side of the Old Bethnal Green Road. (See Image for the new structure.) For the same view as this in 2012, see Image Faintly visible peeping around the chapel is Denys Lasdun's Keeling House, an architecturally significant block of flats at that time in some disrepair but subsequently revived.
