English: Poplar: Follett Street, E14 (2) Many of the buildings that existed in Poplar at the start of the Second World War were either damaged during the Blitz, or else had to be demolished after the war in order to undertake the essential complete redevelopment of the area. Just occasionally some pockets of pre-war buildings remain, cheek by jowl, with more modern buildings, as here in Follett Street. Firstly on the right is a building dating from 1899. The cross in the date tablet suggests that this is ecclesiastical in origin, and probably associated with 934273 which is opposite. Secondly and beyond it is one of the few surviving ordinary Victorian residential properties, that must have been typical of a lot in the area. Beyond that the street reverts to one of the usual tedious and anonymous small blocks of flats.
