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 .

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.

Limehouse Cut
Looking north-east towards Bow Locks. The building on the right is Tweed House in Teviot Street. At the time of my visit most of the flats in the block were boarded up pending either refurbishment or demolition.

Tweed House, Teviot Street
A splash of Brutalism dating from 1961 by the London County Council. Worked into the concrete in the recessed section are abstract patterns. Pevsner notes that, "its Civic Trust award of 1964 indicates the 1960s admiration for tough architecture on challenging sites". The building is currently empty and, no doubt because concrete is considered offensive to our delicate modern sensibilities, an application has been lodged to demolish it so that a new block of flats can be built on the site. The new development will contain twice as many dwellings so either they are each going to be a lot smaller or the building will be much bigger - I know which one my money is on. The building in the background is this one: Image
