Fronting onto Poplar High Street, but seen here from Cottage Street, and dating from 1910 http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-206181-3-piers-immediately-in-front-of-no-127-p (which gives the initial impression that just the piers, one of which can be seen on the left, at the front of the building, are listed, rather than the building itself).

The Resolute, Poplar High Street
1937 pub, probably replacing an earlier one, named after a famous ship, HMS Resolute, which had local connections: it was fitted out in the Blackwall shipyard, with especially strong timbers and an internal heating system, for use in the Arctic. In 1853 it was sent to search for Sir John Franklin's lost expedition, got frozen into the ice and was recovered by an American whaler and eventually restored and returned in 1856 by the US government as a goodwill gesture to Queen Victoria. In return, when the ship was finally broken up in 1879, a desk made from her timbers was presented to the US President Hayes and has been used by most presidents subsequently.

Vietnamese Pastoral Centre, 130 Poplar High Street, London, E14 0AG
This is for Vietnamese Christians locally. At some times of year, this building is quite literally in the shadow of the office blocks behind.

Former Poplar Board of Works, Poplar High Street
A splendid piece of Victorian polychromy. In an Italian Gothic style by Hills and Fletcher with A. and C. Harston in 1869-70. The tower in particular is a lovely touch with its spired dome, rich carvings and decorative frieze. Grade II listed.
At the time of the photo, the building appeared to be disused, although, externally at least, it seemed to be in reasonable condition.
