Altab Ali Park is the site of the old 13th century white chapel, St. Mary Matfelon, from which Whitechapel gets its name. It was originally named St. Mary's Park, but was renamed in 1998 in memory of Altab Ali, a 25-year-old Bangladeshi clothing worker murdered on 4th May 1978, in Adler Street nearby, by three teenage boys as he walked home from work. This is a view of the Shaheed Minar, a smaller replica of the Martyrs Monument in Dhaka, Bangladesh, created in 1999 and which symbolises a mother protecting her children, with the orb of the sun in the background. Looking south-southeast.
