Baker’s Row, E1
Whitechapel underground station, 1896
Baker’s Row became Vallance Road in 1896.

Baker’s Row extended as far as the junction with Hanbury Street. After there, the road continued northwards as Charles Street, New Charles Street, Wellington Street and finally White Street. Charles Street was later incorporated into Baker’s Row when the road was widened in the late 19th century.

Baker’s Row was the site of the Whitechapel Union Infirmary. This became St Peter’s Hospital in 1924 and was demolished in the 1950s.
