St George’s has excellent transport links to the City, Canary Wharf, Bethnal Green and Whitechapel as the Shadwell DLR and Overground stations are nearby as are the D3 and 100 bus routes. As well as being close to the www.eastendhomes.net stalls and shops of Watney Street Market, St George’s is also within walking distance of St Katherine’s Dock with its marina, shops, cafés and restaurants. As well as having a number of green open spaces dotted within the estate, St George’s borders both St George’s Green and Swedenborg Gardens which gives the estate a green and open feel even though it is in the heart of Shadwell. St George’s is also steeped in history as apart from being close to the site of the historic battle of Cable Street, it has on its doorstep both the Nicholas Hawksmoor- designed church of St George-in-the-East and the world’s largest surviving Grand Music Hall, ‘Wiltons’. St George’s Estate About the Estate The estate also has close historic connections with Sweden and in particular Emmanuel Swedenborg, the Swedish scientist and philosopher. Swedenborg Gardens and the Swedenborg Memorial mark the spot where the Swedish Church, Ulriika Eleonara, once stood. The old Swedish Church apart from being key to the Swedish community in the 1700s was also the place where Emmanuel Swedenborg worshipped and the place where his body was buried until it was returned to Sweden in 1908.

  • Stepney in Peace and War the Paintings of Rose L. Henriques
    NEWSLETTER OF TOWER HAMLETS LOCAL HISTORY LIBRARY AND ARCHIVES LH&A NEWS November-December 2013 Stepney in Peace and War The paintings of Rose L. Henriques The Foothills, 'Tilbury', bombed second time. Watercolour on paper, Rose L. Henriques. c1941. Our new exhibition is a rare opportunity to see highlights from our collections of paintings by the Jewish philanthropist Rose L. Henriques (1889-1972) which launches here on Thursday 28 November at 6.30pm. This event is open to the public and is co-hosted with the Jewish East End Celebration Society. With her husband Sir Basil, Lady Rose Henriques founded the St George's Jewish Settlement in Betts St, Stepney in 1919. Here, the Henriques developed social welfare facilities and services for the deprived local community ranging from youth clubs to washrooms and open to Jews and non-Jews alike. The Settlement was able to expand into its own new premises in Berner Street in 1929 thanks to funding from philanthropist Bernhard Baron, after whom the building was renamed. Rose was an avid artist, serving on the board of the Whitechapel Gallery, and the watercolours in our collection are a unique record of Stepney around the time of the Second World War. Focussing on the regular activities and everyday landscapes of the besieged borough, her subjects include the clear-up and triage activities of the Civilian Defence Service, the controversial air raid shelter known as "Tilbury", and scenes of bombed out synagogues and churches. She also painted everyday life at the Settlement building where she and Basil lived. This exhibition has been curated by staff with the expert voluntary help of art researcher Sara Ayad.

Fig. 1: Plan of Brook St. clearance area (LMA ref: MBW 2646) The area in the map in Fig. 1 above would be quite difficult for a present-day traveller to find as only Bere Street has kept its original name. Brook Street is now Cable Street and Broad Street is The Highway. The remains of Collingwood Street are now Heckford Street. The northern bore of the Rotherhithe Tunnel crosses almost underneath the line of the old Broad Street. Limehouse Station is close to the top right-hand corner of the image. The area in question was crowded and unhealthy but it took many representations until 1882 for the scheme to be considered a slum clearance on health grounds. The scheme required the clearance of unhealthy housing which would have displaced 562 persons, and new housing was to be built to house the same number of working class people. The purchase of the slum property and the land, after arbitration, cost the MBW £21,988.

  • 566 Cable Street, Limehouse in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets Planning Application No
    planning report PDU/2422/01 29 April 2009 566 Cable Street, Limehouse in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets planning application no. PA/09/00338 Strategic planning application stage 1 referral (new powers) Town & Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended); Greater London Authority Acts 1999 and 2007; Town & Country Planning (Mayor of London) Order 2008 The proposal Redevelopment of Cable Street Studios to provide 3,486 sq.m. of artists studios, 214 residential units, 475 sq.m. of commercial floorspace, 12 live/work units and retail/café uses. The proposal also includes 82 car parking spaces and 298 cycle spaces. The applicant The applicant is Sudbury Properties, and the architect is Studio One. Strategic issues The proposal is to refurbish an existing building for artist studios and live-work accommodation and a new residential building. Commercial uses are provided at ground floor. The scheme has a very high density, the design is not the highest quality and will impact on the setting of the conservation area and the retained historic buildings. The proposal represents overdevelopment of the site. Recommendation That Tower Hamlets Council be advised that the application does not comply with the London Plan, for the reasons set out in paragraph 86 of this report; but that the possible remedies set out in paragraph 88 of this report could address these deficiencies. Context 1 On 19 March 2009 the Mayor of London received documents from Tower Hamlets Council notifying him of a planning application of potential strategic importance to develop the above site for the above uses. Under the provisions of The Town & Country Planning (Mayor of London) Order 2008 the Mayor has until 29 April 2009 to provide the Council with a statement setting out whether he considers that the application complies with the London Plan, and his reasons for taking that view.
