Getzel Rossen, a chandler, had this shophouse up to 1905 when Max Rosin established a kosher bakery on the premises. His successor, Woolf Rosin, redeveloped in 1929 with Ernest and James Cannell as his architects, and continued the business, with a new bakehouse to the rear. All that was cleared in the 1960s. The present red-brick block, of similar proportions to its three-storey flat-roofed predecessor was built in 1983–5 for B. Ahmed to designs by Abdul Khaliq Samee of the Design and Construction Group of Ilford, for garment-industry use with machine rooms above showrooms. A conversion to form flats over shops followed in 1992–3.1
