The Boar’s Head was located on the north side of Whitechapel High Street. The Boar’s Head was originally an inn, which was built in the 1530s; it underwent two renovations for use as a playhouse: first, in 1598, when a simple stage was erected, and a second, more elaborate renovation in 1599.

The Whitechapel Gallery was designed by Charles Harrison Townsend and opened in 1901. It was one of the first publicly funded galleries in London. The gallery exhibited Pablo Picasso’s Guernica in 1938 as part of a touring exhibition organised by Roland Penrose to protest against the Spanish Civil War. Initiated by members of the Independent Group, the gallery brought Pop Art to the attention of the general public as well as introducing some of the artists, concepts, designers and photographers that would define the Swinging Sixties.

Berner Street (now Henriques Street), April 1909. The cartwheel indicates the entrance to Dutfield’s Yard. The street first appeared on Horwood’s map of 1807 when it was little more than an incomplete cul-de-sac. Possibly named after Charles Berner, a trustee of the vestry of St George-in-the-east, it had become fully developed by the 1830s. The Berner Street/Dutfield’s Yard area was demolished in 1909 to make way for a new school which is today the Harry Gosling Primary School.

Leman Street (1930s) Leman Street was officially named after Sir John Leman. But Leman Street was pronounced like ’lemon’ locally. Leman/lemon was an older term for a mistress or lover. Our stuffy Victorian forbears decided that this was a tad too racy and Sir John Leman was officially given the derivation.
