Town is situated about 3½ miles east of Whitechapel, adjacent to the
river Lea as it enters the Thames at Bow Creek. Originally in the
County of Essex, now a district of the modern day borough of Newham. An industrial and residential area dating from about 1850 built to house the labourers in Victoria Docks, the coal wharves and the shipbuilding works on Bow Creek. It suffered severe damage during the 2nd World War and has subsequently been largely rebuilt.
