Description
The British Sailors Society, located at No. 2 Newell Street, is an early 19th-century building that was formerly a sea training establishment for boys. It is constructed of yellow brick, with the roof not visible. The façade features a rusticated stucco blind arcade of five bays, with a centrally placed entrance that projects from a three-storey structure. The building has three windows, two of which are blind, and five windows on the return, with two on the bow. The windows are recessed sashes with glazing bars. This building is said to be associated with the family of Lord Nelson.
No. 2, along with Nos. 11 to 23 (odd), forms a group with the Garden Wall to the former St Anne's Rectory, Limehouse Town Hall, St Anne's Parish Church, Churchyard Walls, Railings, Gates, Gate Piers, and War Memorial on Commercial Road, as well as the Limehouse Church Institute on Three Colt Street.
