Title
Pubs and shops at the junction of Rhodeswell Road and Salmon Lane
Description
Two pubs at the junction of Rhodeswell Road and Salmon Lane, Limehouse, viewed from Parnham Street looking south-east, and two shops and houses on Salmon Lane. In the left foreground is the Vulcan pub at 178 Rhodeswell Road, a Charrington pub which opened in c1856 and was compulsorily purchased in 1970. A pub sign hangs on the lamppost next to the pub. Diagonally opposite is the Freemasons’ Arms at 96-98 Salmon Lane, a Taylor Walker pub which opened in 1809 and was demolished in 2005. Across the road from the Vulcan are two shops at 123-125 Salmon Lane, then a row of terraced houses. The shop at 125 is boarded up and there is an old armchair piled with rubbish outside it. There is a woman and child near the Vulcan and a man near the shop at 123 Salmon Lane. There are some vans in Salmon Lane. None of these buildings exist today; they were demolished for the development of the Locksley estate, built in 1957-58 by the London County Council and now owned by Tower Hamlets Borough Council.
