Local Government
Districts: |
All the above addresses
are now in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets,
created on 1 April 1965, within the administrative area of Greater London.
Previously, Cheshire Street was in the Metropolitan Borough of
Bethnal Green, and Spital Square was in the Metropolitan Borough of Stepney. Both metropolitan boroughs were
established in 1900 in the County of London (which was established in
1889). All these entities were abolished in 1965.
Spital Square was within the historic
Liberty of Norton Folgate, which was abolished in 1921, being
absorbed into the civil parish of Whitechapel, which itself was
abolished in 1927 to be absorbed into Stepney Borough parish (until that
parish's abolition in 1965) |
