It was the site of the Match Girls Strike in the 1880’s this in turn formed the Union of Women Matchmakers, later renamed the Matchmakers Union. As a site of Historical importance English Heritage named the site with a blue plaque in 2022, this can be seen on the front of the building near the concierge office.

The site was one of East London's first urban renewal projects and the factory building is still an integral part of the development.
