Bromley by Bow war memorial

Site: Bromley by Bow war memorial (1 memorial)

E3, St Leonard's Street, Bob's Park / Bromley Recreation Ground

Various community buildings were erected in the Park in the 1980s and 90s and London Gardens Online say the war memorial was "re-sited". The relative positioning of this monument, the path, the gate and the walls is less than successful since the front of the monument faces the boundary wall. The building and the wall seem new so we don't see why the whole configuration could not have been better designed, or the memorial moved to a better position.

Post-WW1 this monument would have been in the Borough of Poplar, very near the eastern edge, but we can't assist with identification of where the NE ward was; well, here, obviously but we mean the boundary.
