Photo's of Bermondsey (Buildings)

Noooo youtube messed up on me... OMG I cant believe I've not seen any of these before. I'll use another browser to see if that works.. Thanks bossman for sharing these. :) 

when I was born in 76 the queen was opening part of guys hospital and I had a photograph which seemed to be a press photo but it was of my mother and her sister in gaudy brown dresses and myself as a wee un sat down talking to the queen. I've been trying to get a copy of that picture because it was lost when I was a child

Hickeys radio shop did become a taylors, called Sam Hendersons, it was on the same side of the road as Richmonds sausages, the Spa bakery is on the opposite side of the road nearer the old town hall, anyway did one of the Hickey boys join the Royal Navy around 1960? i cannot for the life of me remember his name! Jim, or Jimmy keeps popping into my head.well it certainly sweeps some of the cobwebs away, cheers, freddierouelrd.
p.s this is in reply to a thread i,ve just read from last year.

George's Chippy - there were never before, and have never been since, chips and savs like George used to make!!!!!  Off the 176 from Forest Hill (Glenlyn Ballroom) and into George's before the trek home to Reverdy Road.

Hi Vossy53,

My nan lived in Swan Mead (Kate Oliver) and my dad (Bill) who was born in 1914 lived there until he married my mum.  His sister Annie lived in the Guiness's she married a Robert Hamilton and her eldest son Robert lived there with his wife Joyce and their children, Stephen, Julie, Robert and Tony. Do you remember them?

My nan had a salad stall in Tower Bridge Road and used to have a barrow outside the blind school in Old Kent Road on a Sunday.  I have very found memories of going to her stall and into Edwards for an apple turnover hmmmmmmmmmmm  and going to Joyce's Pie and Mash.  

Hello

I remember the name Annie Hamilton.  I think my Mum knew her.  I will speak to her later and ask her.

Hello again

Just spoken to Mum.  Annie lived next door to us apparently.  Mum remembers her and her family well.  Four families had to share two toilets and a sink on the landing.  Mum says that Annie used to make bread pudding and leave the baking dish in soak in the sink for about a week so that she could clean it properly.
Its a small world.  Mum and Dad moved to Looe in Cornwall in April last year and they keep bumping in to Bermondsey people down there.

How can i get a copy of photo B0063 - Dunton Road? thanks

Hi Linda43

The easiest way is to copy and paste into your own photo folder.
Then you can crop the frame out if you wish, and print or just keep on your computer.
If you have problems with this, message me.

Steve.

Can just see my nan's salad stall second one along outside Rossi's.  Will have to get a copy of this photo

I can always remember the smell from the factory when I was waiting for the bus to come home from my cousin's pub in Crucifix Lane.

Picture (copyright unknown) of trams in Jamaica Road. Thomas Layman in the background (marked yellow on map) was a pawnbrookers at 171-175 Jamaica Road on the corner with Martin Street. The photographer would have been positioned near the corner of Storks Road. The end of the terrace on the right is where Bermondsey LTU station is now located. The houses on the left are where Spenlow House now stands.

Note: map is 1914, the picture house (Stork Cinema) in Jamaica Road is not shown on the 1894 map

This must be the same stretch of Jamaica Road in this photograph. I'd assumed the church in the far distance must be the old Christ Church. It's surprising how grand many of the houses looked.

I'm not sure what part of Jamaica Road this is from? It must be one of the oldest photographs as according to Stephen Humphrey the Toll House was removed in 1865. 

love them pictures.lucky for us the houses in the first pic put up by freddie are still there.owned by rich people then, owned by rich people now.contrast that with booths study of the back streets of bermondsey where most of us came from. some of us were semi criminal, its no wonder.

The toll booth was on the eastern side of the junction with St James's Road. So just in front of where the Midland Bank was later. The photo seems to be looking east towards Rotherhithe. The booth appears to have superseded an earlier small building or hut that was in Jamaica Road on the north side, opposite St James's Road.
I don't think columns like those would have just been chucked in the skip. Assuming the locals didn't nick them first, they - possibly the whole building - would probably have been sold. Anyone recognise the building or columns from elsewhere? (I don't).

some of us were semi criminal, its no wonder.
