Altab Ali Park
Altab Ali Park is named after a 25year old clothing worker Altab Ali who was murdered on 4 May 1978 in Adler Street by three teenage boys as he walked home from work. At the entrance to the park is an arch created by David Peterson, developed as a memorial to Altab Ali and other victims of racist attacks. The arch incorporates a complex Bengali-style pattern, meant to show the merging of different cultures in East London. The site formerly housed the church of St Mary which was destroyed in the blitz; all that remains of the former site are a few graves.
The Shaheed Minar, which commemorates the Bengali Language Movement stands in the southwest corner of Altab Ali Park; the monument is a smaller replica of the one in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and symbolises a mother and her martyred sons.
