Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Heckford House, Grundy Street. This was the first block of council flats to be built in Poplar. On the site of the former Oriental Terrace, it is named after the borough surveyor at the time, Henry Heckford.
'It is of yellow London stock brick, with a plinth and pilasters in red brick, the latter having artificial stone capitals. The round-headed front doorway has a keystone inscribed with the Borough Council's initials 'PBC', and there is also a stone set above the doorway inscribed 'Poplar Borough Council, 1920'. The second floor of the building is incorporated as an attic storey into the mansard slate roof and has large dormer windows with flat, corniced heads.'
