This bleak alleyway was I think somewhere in the Oak Lane/ Newell Street area in Poplar, which was altered dramatically in 1989-1993 by the construction of the Limehouse Link Tunnel. I think it is beside the rail line - which later became the DLR - on the left.
 
The tower blocks of the Barley Mow estate are still there, and should make the location of this image easy to find, but I've not been able to do so. The previous frame was taken on a corner of Oak Lane which I think is no longer there and after this and a picture on an unidentifiable wall on a council estate I was at the north east corner of Limehouse dock.
