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: Hoxton Square, N1
This street actually leads into Hoxton Square from Coronet Street rather than being part of the square itself. Most of the buildings facing onto the square have been refurbished but the one in London stock buff brickwork with the maroon painted doors and window frames (Number 52) appears fairly original with doors opening out onto the street from the upper floors and a metal beam for a goods hoist. The street retains its cobbled surface.

Hoxton: Hoxton Market, N1
The red brick building with the staggered windows is Shaftesbury House, Hoxton Market's former Christian Mission, named after Anthony Ashley Cooper, 7th Earl of Shaftesbury (1801–1885), the philanthropist who was also chairman of the Ragged Schools Union.
The building is now in use as a restaurant, The Real Greek Mezedopolio.
