Description
Steps up to Glamis Road, Shadwell, viewed from the junction of Market Hill, Leading Street and Labour In Vain Street, looking west. There is a streetlight at the bottom of the steps, against the wall of a house or warehouse. On the right is the derelict King’s Arms pub on Market Hill, which was open from at least 1811. It was at 16 Market Hill until 1899 and after street renumbering at 11 thereafter. In the centre background is the late Georgian Anglican St Paul’s Church in The Highway, which was Grade II listed* in 1950, listing number 1357840. Of the streets near the steps, only Glamis Road still exists. On this site now is the King Edward VII Memorial Park, which opened in 1922, this part of which is now undergoing development for the Thames Tideway ‘super sewer’ scheme.
