Bethnal Green: Pub sign at south end of Sebright Passage
Walking east along Hackney Road, it is a surprise to encounter a pub sign in what seem to be an unlikely place. It directs you up a narrow alleyway called Sebright Passage to the Sebright Arms, but sadly the last pint appears to have been pulled here, for it has recently closed.

Bethnal Green: 259-273 Hackney Road
The date above the first pair of houses is 1820, which implies that the original inhabitants of these houses would have been fairly well-off, possibly possessing their own carriages, as this of course would have well pre-dated the railway, which did not reach the nearest station at London Fields until 1872, (the station at Cambridge Heath did not open until 1884). In those days, this was considered a very desirable place to reside.

Bethnal Green: The 'Sebright Arms', Coate Street
It does not appear to have been closed very long. It looks as if it would have been a welcoming and unpretentious place.

Bethnal Green: Mansford Street
Mansford Street runs south from its T-junction with Hackney Road, as far as Old Bethnal Green Road, and slightly beyond. Originally, it went on further south to a junction with Bethnal Green Road.

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.
