Fronts of a terraced row of derelict houses at 42-54 Redmans Road, Stepney, viewed from the north side of Redmans Road facing south-west. On the extreme left, in Cherry Place is a ‘cannon’ bollard. All the houses are three-storey and numbers 54 and 52 have dormer attics. All have canopies over their front doors and Doric capitals topping fluted pilasters each side of their doors. There is a Morris 10-4 army staff car parked outside number 44 (the photo was taken in 1943 during World War II). On 23 February 1976, the Secretary of State for the Environment was asked how many listed buildings had been demolished in the Greater London area during the last three years. The buildings at 42-48 Redmans Road were included in the list given in reply as the buildings had been demolished in 1974. The extended playground of Redland Primary School covers the site where the buildings at 42-48 used to be and a modern block of flats where 50-54 were.
