Geoffrey Fletcher wrote in 'The London Nobody Knows' in 1962: "Bellevue Place is off Stepney Green, down a little street. A green gate opening in the wall leads to a totally unexpected corner of London. Bellevue Place is well named. It is a cul-de-sac with a paved pathway leading to the far end, under a creeper-covered wall. The cottages are early nineteenth century, and have true cottage gardens fenced with wooden rails, pointed at the top. Here are unbelievably rural gardens, full of lilac, roses, hydrangeas, wallflowers, lupins, and delphiniums – all a minute’s walk from the Mile End Road." Amazingly when so much else has changed, well over half a century later Bellevue Place is unchanged. It still has the green gate in Cleveland Way as at https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6055563, which leads beyond the gate to the cottages seen here.
