This former Bryant & May matchworks in Bow was once the largest factory in London, employing almost 5,000 people - most of whom were women or girls.
The building in the foreground is one of the directors' cottages on Fairfield Road, built in the second half of the 19th century. The main factory buildings behind were rebuilt in 1909-10, adding two water towers (one seen here) to serve the sprinkler system.
The whole factory site was redeveloped and converted into residential apartments (now called Bow Quarter) at the end of the 1980s.
This long exposure shot was taken mistakenly at ISO 400 instead of 100 due to my forgetfulness in not remembering to change settings! LOL! The colour temperature was reduced a touch to try and compensate for this.
The location of the shot is Three Colt Bridge in Victoria Park, East London looking towards Stratford in the distance.
