Rook Street, a street of tightly packed terraced houses in Poplar, east London, decorated with flags and banners for a Roman Catholic celebration in about 1914. It's possible that this celebration might be to do with the appointment of the new pope, Benedict XV, in September 1914. The pope is the leader of Roman Catholics worldwide.
