This website has a very large collection of old books, including official records such as builders journals, parish records and can get lucky with information https://archive.org/search?query=%22sidney+road%22++%22forest+gate%22&sin=TXT there are ways to search better in the advanced section.

the property appears to be known as Sidney Road with Forest Gate or even Cann Hall.  There was another Sidney Road nearby in Homerton and is mentioned a lot as there was an institution there
