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.

View of a large detached house on Commercial Road
In quite a stark contrast to the rest of the architecture on Commercial Road is this rather beautiful large detached house, on the corner of Birchfield Street. Looking south-southwest.
