CLINK STREET & BANKSIDE.

Postby kiwi » Fri Mar 03, 2017 4:17 am

Pickford Wharf, Clink Street 1979. There were two named buildings on the site. Pickfords Wharf and Cole & Carey. Originally built by wharfingers (an owner or operator of a wharf) Fitch & Cozens, with the wharf being named Phoenix Wharf. The Pickfords name came in 1897 when Pickfords & Co purchased the site and renamed the wharf.

A sailing barge moored in Greenmoor Wharf, Bankside.
This was the site of Southwark Corporation's rubbish depot. Refuse,
transported by horse and cart, was loaded into these barges by chutes and
hydraulic cranes. Once the boat was laden, the skipper and mate would head
downriver to the estuary. 1920-1933

Bankside 1950, looking across to a fine Victorian pub. This is the Founder’s Arms. Behind the pub is the viaduct, approaching Blackfriars railway bridge, carrying the rail lines across the Thames into Blackfriars Station. A couple of the arches underneath the railway can just be seen to the left of the pub.

Although this part of Bankside has changed dramatically, it is relatively easy to place the location of the Founder's Arms. 2016..

To the right of the pub in the 1950 photo, the roadway continues down to the wharfs and stairs on the river. Although not a road, this is still a footpath shown in the 2019 photo by the yellow railings. Bankside still curves to the right (although moved slightly away from the river, the original route now occupied by the buildings on the right), and in the 1950 photo, just visible to the left, two cobbled streets appear to be separated by a small part of pavement that extends into the centre left of the photo. Where the pub once stood is now occupied by the single storey building behind the white van. The arches in the viaduct can just be seen on the left.

Cardinal Cap Alley, Bankside. Ran between Bankside and Skin Market Place which was originally involved in the Tanning Trade, now where the Shakespeare’s Globe stands. Cardinal Cap Alley is still there nestled behind the Globe.

Henry Beaufort (c. 1375 – 11 April 1447) was a medieval English clergyman, Bishop of Winchester, a member of the royal house of Plantagenet, and a Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church, The Cardinal's Cap which was so-called because it had been owned by Henry Beaufort. If this is the case the house has been there a very long time considering he died in 1447. This looks like the same house in both pictures and possibly with the same lamp.

Craig & Rose, paint manufacture’s has now gone. The house I believe has survived due to it’s history, the plaque at the bottom being on the house. I might be wrong on this but I think Catherine of Aragon stayed there when she first came to England from Spain in 1501.?

Clink Prison, originally used principally for religious prisoners, another of Southwark’s old and notorious institutions. Dating back to Mediaeval times this was a small prison owned by the Bishop of Winchester in the Liberty of the Clink. The building was burned down in 1780 and not rebuilt, number 1 Clink Street is a modern reconstruction and a museum.

A modern reconstruction of the Globe, named "Shakespeare's Globe", opened in 1997 approximately 750 feet (230 m) from the site of the original theatre. From 1909, the current Gielgud Theatre was called "Globe Theatre", until it was renamed (in honour of John Gielgud) in 1994. CARDINAL CAP ALLEY.
