Bonner's Hall, 1844. Building due to be demolished in the East End of London: '...considerable progress has been made towards the formation of "Victoria Park"...The chief part of the tenants inhabiting the houses forming the remaining wing of "Bonner's-hall" have vacated their occupancy, prior to the demolition of this interesting structure, which will commence at once. This is one of the most picturesque parts of the locality; the venerable trees which still remain showing it to have been the remnants of a formerly well cultivated park. Bishop Bonner is stated to have resided in the old structure, long known as "Bonner's Hall", and here it is asserted that the bishop imprisoned and tortured the first Protestant martyrs. The building consists of a centre and two wings; and, with...heavy roofs, chimney-stacks, and dormer windows...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V.
