Bethnal Green was transformed during Victorian times; new housing, schools and churches were built, businesses expanded, and social reformers made their mark â at missions, settlements, hospitals and parks.
To celebrate Oxford Houseâs redevelopment in 2019, and understand why it was first set up in 1884, a group of local residents came together to research life in Victorian Bethnal Green. This booklet â developed with Tower Hamlets Local History Library and Archives â shares their remarkable discoveries.
