TQ3681 : Stepney: Limehouse Fields Estate, E14

Bow, Tower Hamlets, Great Britain

Stepney: Limehouse Fields Estate, E14
Stepney: Limehouse Fields Estate, E14
Stepney suffered greatly during the Blitz, and there was a desperate need in the immediate post-war years not only to re-house people whose homes had been destroyed but also to cater for demobilized service personnel returning home to civilian life. The Limehouse Fields Estate was one of the main developments to solve these problems. Three different types of housing can be seen here. The nearest, and somewhat unusually green, houses are Donoghue Cottages, built in 1949. Further down the road, which is Galsworthy Avenue, are some more recent (1990s?) houses, while in the distance is a towerblock, probably dating from the 1960s.
