View of Commercial Road
Description
A view looking west along the north side of Commercial Road, Stepney, between Salmon Lane and the Bridge at the Limehouse Curve section of the London & Blackwall Railway. There are pedestrians, cyclists, a horse-drawn wagon and an open-top Omnibus. Commercial Road can be seen to be cobbled, with tram lines running throught it. The buildings at the junction with Salmon Lane have advertising including Shaving Saloon, R. Jones Cafe, and Mitchell Saw Makers. With the exception of a terrace of Grade II listed houses at 697-711 Commercial Road, seen in the distance by the railway bridge, these buildings no longer exist. In 1924 the Empire Memorial Sailors' Hostel opened on the site between Salmon Lane and Waterloo Street. The hostel closed in 1979, and became a home for the homeless renamed Princes Lodge, which in turn closed in 1985. The Grade II listed building has been converted into 50 private flats named The Mission. Luxury Apartments centred around Salton Square have been constructed between the nineteenth-century terrace of houses and The Mission.
