Marx lived at no 41 but this whole area has been redeveloped since Marx's time. And no, we have no idea what the strange pillar object is in the photograph.

A friend, who lives nearby, contacted us to say: “The 'strange pillar' was part of a MA project at Goldsmiths in 2007 and was created by artist Tim Cole to celebrate the last years of his life that Karl Marx spent in Maitland Park, along with a handcart and other plant sculptures.  The pillar no longer exists.”
