Bethnal Green: Queen Elizabeth Hospital for Children
In 1868, the North Eastern Hospital for Children opened on this site. In 1908 it was renamed the Queen's Hospital for Children, and in 1942 after amalgamation with another similar institution from Shadwell, the present name was adopted. However, in 1998 the services of this hospital were transferred to the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel.

The garden at Hackney City Farm
In the first past of the 20th century, various businesses were based at the site now occupied by Hackney City Farm, ranging from furniture makers to button manufacturers. From 1940 onwards the site was occupied by a road haulage company. Later in 1982, local people formed the farm, and kept a few animals in the nearby Covent Gardens. Two years later in 1984, Hackney City Farm moved to the current site and was given a hundred year lease by Hackney Council. The attractive garden is alongside Goldsmith's Row.

Haggerston: Corner of Hackney Road and Tuilerie Street
Tuilerie Street does not appear to have any official existence now. The name is embossed on the street corner, but has not been picked out in black, but remains white against a white background. The street itself, which in former years ran northwards for about 300 yards, is now just an entrance to Haggerston Park.
