Converted church of St. James the Great, Bethnal Green Road
This large church left no clue as to its previous owners or name, but both it and the adjoining vicarage have been converted into flats, a far superior alternative than demolition, as it is a splendid building. Apparently the former prime minister, Clement Attlee, who did much social work in this area as a younger man, was at one time associated with the church, which apparently was also known as 'The Red Church'. This is thought to refer to the colour of its brickwork rather than to the political affiliation of its congregation.
On 19th April 1965 Reginald Kray married Frances Shea in St James the Great Church. It was the East End's wedding of the year. Many famous boxers of the time attended the ceremony and David Bailey was the photographer. Two years after the wedding the church was used for the bride's funeral when she had committed suicide. There were ten black limousines for the mourners and many wreaths, including one from Ronnie Kray (who was on the run from the police at the time) and three from Reggie Kray.

Hague Street, E2
Before the expansion of Weavers Fields park (behind the photographer), Hague Street was longer and ran from Bethnal Green Road (visible at the end of the street in this photo) down towards the railway line. Following the expansion of the park in the 1960s only this little stub remained.
In the distance the former church of St James the Great, Bethnal Green, now converted to flats.

Bethnal Green Road, E2: former Essoldo cinema
Frankle Trimmings, a textile shop, occupies the former Essoldo cinema (previously the Rex): see http://www.eastend-memories.org/cinema/essoldo/essoldo1.htm and http://stories-of-london.org/hold-on-a-minute-didnt-this-used-to-be/ for more details. The current Art Deco façade dates from a 1938 remodelling and is the work of architect George Coles. (Many thanks to Rich Tea http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/4180 for pointing me at this information.)
Attaboy dry cleaners is apparently unchanged since I moved out of Bethnal Green in 1989.
Update: the former cinema was demolished in August 2020.
