Howrah House at 83 East India Dock Road which was a convent run by the Faithful Companions of Jesus. It was essentially a Girls School, although boys were admitted occasionally and there is evidence that Alfred Hitchcock spent some time there. The house was previously the residence of shipping magnate, Duncan Dunbar who owned the Dunbar Wharf in Limehouse.
