Saracen Street, Poplar
The dwellings on Saracen Street form the north site of the Lansbury Estate. They were built 1951-1952 to the designs of architects Norman and Dawbarn. For a comprehensive account of the Lansbury Estate and the Festival of Britain (1951) see this http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=46490. The shop on the left of the image was originally a public house, "The Chimes" built to the designs of architects Stewart & Hendry.

Canton Street, Poplar
The western end of Canton Street is line with blocks of flats, all built in the post-war era. This shows a walkway leading up from the street giving access to the block on the right. Canton Street is one of several in this immediate area with Chinese names.

Upper North Street, Poplar
An attractive terrace of grade II listed Georgian town houses, a happy survival in an area comprehensively redeveloped since the Second World War. The effect is spoiled somewhat by the mauve wheely bins.

Grundy Street, Poplar
Seen from the junction with North Street. A combination of enemy action and slum clearance schemes means that most of Poplar has a post-war appearance. In this view there are various housing styles and a few remaining older buildings.

Seamen's Rest, original entrance
This is the Jeremiah Street entrance of Queen Victoria Seamen's Rest opened in 1902. See http://www.portcities.org.uk/london/server/show/ConNarrative.141/chapterId/2941/The-welfare-of-seamen.html for contemporary photos.
Earlier there was a small mission, run by the Wesletyan Methodist church, consisting of a plainly furnished reading room and rest room with a third room available for daily Bible and Prayer meetings. An elementary nautical school ran three mornings a week and services were held on Monday and Friday evenings.
Prior to that on this spot stood a tavern appositely named The Magnet - a considerable attraction, no doubt, to the recently-paid-off sailors who thronged this area. The Methodists had it closed down and took over the site.
