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.

Bromley Hall, Blackwall Tunnel Approach Road
A surprising find, now incongruously looking out over a busy dual carriageway. From the exterior it looks c1700, but recent investigation has unearthed evidence which suggests that this building was once part of a Tudor manor house. Grade II* listed.
Behind and to the right can be seen the tops of offices, complete with portholes, fashioned out of red containers.

Limehouse Cut
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 .

Former fire station, Gillender Street
A fine example of the former London County Council's Arts-and-Craft style fire stations, dating from 1909-11. It definitely has that air of domesticity for which the style was always striving - if you ignore the ground floor, you'd think this is a block of flats. The architect may have been W.E. Brooks. Grade II listed.
It is now artists' studios.
