The Hale Street Mural is a mural painted on the wall of the Tower Hamlets Parks Department on Hale Street (Hartland). The mural is in honor of the 1921 Poplar Rates Rebellion, which was an uprising against the unfair taxing of Poplar in comparison to more upper class communities like those in West London. In other words, Poplar would have had to pay more than more upper class communities because it would have raised the rates on the rent of property - money that residents of Poplar didn't have (Alchetron).

The West and East India Docks would be built in 1802 for unloading cargo from both companies: spices from India (East India Company); and the occasional enslaved person, as well as goods like rum, sugar, and cotton from the British West Indies (Cayman, Anguilla, Turks and Caicos, Montserrat, British Virgin Islands, the Bahamas, Barbados, etc.) (Encyclopedia Britannica). These were the two companies that expanded the British Empire's reach.

St. Anne's Church Limehouse is an Anglican Church, formed from part of the parish of St. Dunstan's, located in Stepney (an historical part of Poplar), and was consecrated in 1730.

(Saint Anne is also the patron saint of carpenters, seamstresses, lacemakers, miners, etc.
