The Limehouse Cut
The Limehouse Cut was built in 1770 to connect the River Lea to the Thames and so shorten the journey for vessels travelling from the River Lea to the Pool of London. It did this by cutting out several loops of the lower Lea and the Thames. In the 19th century it was so polluted that "no bargee who fell in had any chance of surviving his ducking in the filthy water".
The Limehouse Cut was closed to pedestrians for many years but the towpath has been opened up in the last few years so that it is now possible to walk from Limehouse Basin to Three Mills via the new bridge under the Blackwall Tunnel approach road.

Industrial building near Limehouse Cut
It would appear to be originally used for some labour-intensive industry, but is now a part of a site split up into a multitude of small businesses. It is currently the home of the Limehouse Arts Foundation, and before that an annex of Poplar Technical College.

The canal (see also http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=18757043) runs across the southeast corner of the square. On the right is the four-storey building shown in Image, which is mapped as the Poplar Centre of Hackney College, but since 1994 it has been the home of the Limehouse Arts Foundation http://www.limehouseartsfoundation.org/pages/about.html .
