In 1888, Stratford was a bustling industrial town in East London, known for its factories, breweries, and railways. The area was predominantly working-class, with many residents employed in the nearby factories and workshops. The town was also home to a number of notable landmarks and institutions.

Harrow Green was a district in the western part of Stratford, and it was known for its large gasworks and waterworks. The West Ham Union Workhouse, which provided housing and support for the poor and destitute, was located nearby.
