Dist:0.5km north<br/>Navarino Mansions was designed in the Arts and Crafts style by the architect Nathan Joseph to provide accommodation for 300 Jewish artisans from the East End. The buildings were completed on the south side of Dalston Lane in 1905 by the philanthropic association of the Four Per Cent Industrial Dwellings Company. During the 1990s the estate was totally refurbished to the designs of the architects Hunt Thompson. There are two other courtyards similar to this one. From a Geograph viewpoint the 185000 northing runs across the courtyard just beyond the arch.
