Info
105 Barking Road is a former public hall in Canning Town, in the London Borough of Newham, in the United Kingdom. It was designed by the British architect Lewis Angell (who also designed Stratford Old Town Hall in conjunction with John Giles), and was built in 1892-4. The building is situated in the ward of Canning Town South, on the north of Barking Road, to the northeast of Canning Town station. 105 Barking Road is a classic example of a Victorian town hall with links to East London's suffragette and labour movements during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The building is listed as a Grade II building under the Planning Act 1990.
Notable British activists including Sylvia Pankhurst, Will Thorne and James Keir Hardie all spoke here. Today, the building is the headquarters of the social action charity Community Links.
