The Salvation Army in Poplar is often called the ‘No. 1 Corps’ (churches are referred to as ‘corps’ within The Salvation Army) because it is the oldest surviving established church for the organisation, which began its work on the streets of East London in 1865. To recognise this significant milestone and to meet those connected with The Salvation Army in the area, General Cox and his wife Commissioner Silvia Cox spent time at the weekend seeing first-hand the work being done to support those in the Poplar community today.
