Residents of the Kirby Estate in Bermondsey have a street party with BBQ, drinks, and a bouncy castle as they take part in The Big Lunch to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla on May 7, 2023.

Beryl Arle, was born and grew up in Bermondsey in the 1930's and 40's, I believe she was in her 90s when she sadly pasted away. Hoping someone will be able to provide us with more information on Beryl. To me these stories and memories should be passed down.

Simms experimented with military applications, mounting a Maxim machine gun on a De Dion quadricycle to produce the Simms Motor Scout.
In 1899 he invented what was probably the first armoured vehicle which he called The Motor War Car, but this was never manufactured in large numbers.
That bike would be great for shooting out the tyres of the car in front that just cut you up, just a thought. ;)
