A short history of E16

Before the 19th century the Canning Town area was largely marshland that could be reached only by boat or over a toll bridge. An iron bridge carried a new road across the River Lea at Bow Creek from 1810. The North London Line opened in 1846 and in 1852 S.W. Silver and Company set up a rubber works that gave Silvertown its name. The Royal Victoria Dock opened in 1855 and new settlements for dock workers grew up around it. The name Canning Town is believed to honour Charles John Canning. In 1864 Silvertown became a separate parish based around St Mark's Church. Henry Tate arrived in 1877 and Abram Lyle in 1881. Silver's workers held a twelve week strike in 1889 and Canning Town Public Hall opened in 1894. Slum clearance began in the 1930s and South Hallsville School was bombed on 10 September 1940. The area has 11 listed buildings, all Grade II.
