Magpie Close, near Forest Gate
The curved walls at the entrance to Magpie Close suggest that this was once the gateway to the large building in the background.
The building was originally a school for poor children, opened in the 1850s. It subequently became a workhouse, then a hospital, closing in the 1980s. Housing and a park have since been developed on the grounds, and the building is now just a facade.

Entrance to West Ham Cemetery
West Ham Cemetery was established by the West Ham Burial Board in 1857 and was extended in 1871. Good drainage and low cost were considered more important than the landscape potential when the land was purchased. As a result the cemetery is rather lacking in distinctive features and has a straightforward grid of paths.
This is the entrance in Cemetery Road.
