The Suffagettes fought for voting rights for British Women, and were very active in nearby Bow. The vote was extended to British Women over the age of 30 in 1918 and to all women of voting age (then 21, now 18) in 1928.
Trinity Buoy Wharf was vacated by Trinity House in 1988, and in the early 1990s it was designated as a 'Creative Enterprise Zone'. It has been managed as a creative and artistic hub by Urban Space Management since 1998.

The poppies at the Tower of London are an evolving art installation "Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red", to mark the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War.
The first poppies were installed in the moat at the Tower on 5th August 2014 - 100 years to the day since Britain declared war on Germany - and the last will be installed on 11th November, the anniversary of the Armistice in 1918 which brought an end to the fighting. A total of 888,246 ceramic poppies will be laid, each on signifying a British military fatality during the War.
After 11th November the poppies will be removed and sold off to raise money for six charities which support serving and former services personnel, and their families.

Taken in Weavers Field Woodland, Bethnal Green, 3rd February 2011.
The beginning of February is a time when the signs of nature reawakening begin to occur - the days are lengthening once more; buds are forming on the trees and shrubs and the first spring flowers - the snowdrops - are starting to flower. Pagans celebrate this time of year as Imbolc, a Celtic word which roughly translates as "in the belly".

A new cycleway is being built to link Viaduct Place with Derbyshire Street, around the back of Oxford House, which will allow cyclists to bypass a busy stretch of Bethnal Green Road. This view taken on 20th February shows the state of progress so far. The work includes a new pedestrian entrance into Weavers Fields, which can be seen in the background.

At one time there were 150 Synagogues in the East End. Now there are three. Fieldgate Street is no longer in regular use but has been retained and may be used for educational visits.
OK, strictly speaking this is Whitechapel rather than Bethnal Green as it is on the other side of the railway viaduct, but ...
Walking along Henning Street the other day, I was surprised to come across this rail crossing still in situ. I have since discovered that this was part of the approach to the Spitalfields Coal Depot, and the lines crossed both Hemming Street and Vallance Road on the level. There was also a hoist to allow wagons to transfer to and from a spur off the East London Line, which ran alongside the site at a lower level. The site of the coal depot is now occupied by housing.

"It has heroic scale with beautiful human proportions and has a magical quality. It practically hugs the ground, yet it has also a majestic sense of scale, reminiscent of a Nash terrace."
