Bourne’s Almshouse, in Kingsland Road, was erected in the year 1734, by the company of Framework-knitters, pursuant to the will of Thomas Bourne, Esq; who bequeathed to that company 1000l. to purchase ground, and erect a building upon it of twelve rooms, for that number of poor freemen or their widows, and endowed this almshouse with 2000l. to be laid out in a purchase of 80l. a year.
Bow, a village in Middlesex, a little to the east of Mile End, also called Stratford le Bow; is named Bow, from the stone arches of its bridge built over the river Lea, by Maud the wife of Henry I. Its church built by Henry II. was a chapel of ease to Stepney; but was lately made parochial.
This village is inhabited by many whitsters and scarlet dyers, and here has lately been set up a large manufactury of porcelain, which is brought to such perfection as to be very little inferior to that of China.
