PARFITT ROAD

Hi Phil

Found this 1940's Map showing Parfitt Road.
Not really near Peek Freens, but not to far away either.
More Rotherhithe New Road.
Hope this helps?

MY GREAT GRANDFATHER WORKED AT PEEK FREENS FOR 40 YEARS+.AFTER THE FIRST WORLD WAR IN WHICH MY GRANDFATHER ALFRED FREDRICK MARKHAM SERVED,HE MOVED TO HACKNEY.HE WAS KILLED WORKING IN THE DOCKS DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR AGED 46, MY DAD WAS ONLY 5 AND BECAUSE HE WAS SO YOUNG MISSED OUT ON ALOT OF THE FAMILIES PAST.
     NICE TO KNOW WE HAVE SOUTH LONDON BLOOD IN THE VEINS AND MIGHT EVEN START UP A INDEPENDENT TRADING COMPANY!
