Alight here for Clegg Street, the turning lower right which runs through to Cinnamon Street. The area is served by single-decker buses on route 100: "towards Tower Gateway" says the bus stop. A map of 1875 shows this as King Street. The view would have been of large institutional buildings: the Infirmary to the south of the St George in the East Workhouse. The flats ahead are part of Doughty Court; the tall tower upper left is Oswell House, so named on a map of 1958-76.
