From Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park’s industrial past to present day 🏭 This 1944 photo of Carpenters Road vividly captures the industrial history of the Park, with factory chimneys sending thick plumes of smoke skyward and rail yards poised to transport goods across the nation. The photo prominently features the Yardley of London perfume factory. Today, you can still spot one of its original buildings, Warton House, on Stratford High Street, adorned with a beautiful mosaic of lavender sellers on its exterior. Just down the road from there lies the Bow Flyover, once called "Stinkhouse Bridge" due to the overpowering stench from nearby chemical works, the perfume factory, and a glue factory that processed bones gathered by rag-and-bone men. Locals even referred to Carpenters Road as "Stink Bomb Alley"! Today, Carpenters Road and surrounding areas are still a thriving business hub, transformed by the legacy of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Businesses, both large and small, have made the Park a powerhouse of creativity and innovation, benefiting not only east Londoners but the wider population. From East Bank (pictured, with Carpenters Road situated behind) - the UK’s largest cultural quarter since the opening of the South Kensington Museums in the 19th century - to the trailblazers at HERE EAST and Plexal. The park is a place where culture, life sciences, and education converge, driving positive change for society. Follow us to keep up with all the huge things happening on the Park!
