Back in the 70's on our back home from school we would pass Bevingtons on Abbey Street and we would dare each other to go up to the lime pits via the side entrance and look into them! We knew that the factory produced leather but in our child's minds we thought that cows were put into the pits that ...

There used to be an old factory on Tower Bridge Road on at the Abbey Street junction . It was near an old newsagents called Grays i think. Does anyone recall the name? Many thanks Hi Irish Dave, The factory was called John Feavers and opposite was a paper shop was called Grays. I use to have a pape...

Sorry, have no idea. Most of the scenery seems to around Tooley Street and Tower Bridge Road! Once again, thanks again for the tips on seeing this film. Will be looking out for it on the Talking Pictures film channel (freeview ch81) as they play most of the early B&W and Ealing films etc and wil...

Hi Matheson Yes, sometimes the Square was used for the market stalls as an over spill, but the main market was above the Square in the shaded part which was a car park for most of the week.

The road junction is Abbey Street and Tower Bridge Road. Have heard about this film and would love to see it...

It was great fun at night times! 1969_Raleigh_Chopper.jpg Yet another must have toy when we wer...

H20253-L114360277.jpg Back in the 60's, this was the must have toy for xmas! All I ever wanted was a 'Johnny Seven Gun' (the seven meant that the gun fired seven projectiles). After a lot of nagging, my parents eventually got me one. One of my friends, who lived opposite our block in Abbey Building...

Lovely photo of Abbey Street. If memory serves me the shell fish stall was only there on a Sunday morning. I remember we use to hang around the stall just before he packs up for the day hoping that he'll give us any of his left overs!!!! I also remember on one occasion coming home from school, we we...

Hi Kiwi

The first photo looks as if it may be just off the junction with The Grange opposite the swimming pool? Would be interesting to see where it is.
But to be honest Kiwi I'm more curious about the "FREE SEX" sign displaying Green Shield Stamps??
