We are not certain that the J. Pullen on the Town Hall plaque is the alderman and well-known butcher described below, but it seems very likely.
have an entry titled "Records of James Pullen, butcher of Green Street, Bethnal Green, 1920s-1960". This includes "Studio portrait of Alderman James Pullen (1867-1931) in regalia". In more detail, the photographs available are: "1 - Studio photograph of James Pullen senior (1867-1931) 2 - Photographs 3 - History of J. Pullen butcher's shop, 197 Green Street, Bethnal Green, early 1900s - October 1960."
has a photo of James Pullen Jnr. in his butcher's apron, but he is not our man.
Note: Green Street was renamed to become part of Roman Road, probably 1936-9.
