BETHNAL GREEN

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 830 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BER-BLA
BETHNAL GREEN , an eastern metropolitan borough of London, England, bounded N. by Hackney, E. by Poplar, S. by Stepney and W. by Shoreditch. Pop. (1901) 129',680. It is a
district
  of poor houses, forming part of the area commonly known as the "
East
  End." The working population is employed in the making of match-boxes, boot-making, cabinet-makingand other
industries
 ; but was formerly largely devoted to silk-weaving, which spread over the
district
  from its centre in
Spitalfields
  (see STEPNEY). This industry is still maintained. The Bethnal Green museum was opened in 1872. It contains exhibits of food and animal products, formerly at
South
  Kensington, entomological collections, &c.; and various
loan
  exhibitions are held from time to time. The Museum also housed the Wallace collection until the opening of Hertford
House
 , and the pictures now in the National Portrait Gallery. It stands in public gar-dens; there are several other small open spaces; and some 7o out of the 217 acres of Victoria Park are within the borough. Close by the park there stood, until the 19th century, a
house
  believed to have belonged to the notorious Bishop Bonner, the persecutor of Protestants in the reign of Mary; his name is still attached to a street here. Among institutions are the missionary
settlement
  of the Oxford House, founded in 1884, with its women's branch, St Margaret's House; the North-Eastern
hospital
 
    See Also:
for children, the Craft school and the Leather Trade school. The parliamentary borough of Bethnal Green has two divisions, each returning one member. The borough council consists of a mayor, 5 aldermen and 30 councillors. Area 759.3 acres.
