Hackney Marsh, Hackney Wick, and Oldford were areas in East London that were predominantly working-class during the late 19th century. These areas were heavily industrialized with factories, mills, and warehouses, making it a hub for the manufacturing industry. Hackney Wick was particularly known for its thriving textile industry, while Oldford was home to a number of breweries.

The White Hart by Temple Mill Bridge was a popular pub located on the River Lea in Oldford, known for its picturesque location and lively atmosphere.

Victoria Park, located in the vicinity of Oldford Road, was a large public park built in the 1840s. It was a popular recreational spot for the working-class residents of the area, offering green spaces, lakes, and a boating lake.

The nearby Victoria Park Station and Oldford Station provided easy access to the rest of London, and were particularly popular with commuters and those travelling to work.
