Hoxton: Former Shoreditch Electricity Generating Station & Refuse Destructor
Built in 1896 by the Shoreditch Vestry, and inaugurated in 1897 by the physicist and engineer Lord Kelvin, this was an early purpose-built undertaking designed to generate electricity from steam created by burning rubbish and dust. It was therefore an early precursor of sustainable development and recycling. The generated electricity powered street lights and some adjacent washhouses, since demolished. At its most efficient it consumed about 10 tons of rubbish per day. It was built in Coronet Street and faces onto Hoxton Market.
There is a Latin carving in the wall over the main entrance that reads
"E. Pulvere, Lux, Et, Vis."
which broadly translates into 'Light and Power from Dust’,
while over the door is another carving
"Vestry of St Leonard, Shoreditch
Electric Light Station"
The Vestry was a body responsible for local government and was a precursor of Shoreditch Borough Council.
The works was eventually decommissioned and converted in 1994 for other uses. It is currently occupied by Circus Space http://www.thecircusspace.co.uk/

Hoxton: The former Hop Pole public house
This former Truman Hanbury Buxton outlet is in Pitfield Street at its junction with Coronet Street. A specialist website listing closed pubs in London describes it as having been closed before 1985 and lying derelict since, which is remarkable when its external condition is considered. Were it not for the estate agents' signs, you would think it was up and running.
