Bermondsey Street

Bermondsey Street. The Methodist Church was a driving force behind the temperance movement in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The intoxicating effects of beer were seen as the cause of many social problems but the South London Wesleyan Mission also recognised the social benefits of meeting for a drink. They started their own temperance pub called St George’s House in West Lane, where you could enjoy a tasty non-alcoholic beverage like sarsaparilla or Vimto.

The site of Wool yard reflects this history — it was first home to a gin distillery from 1819, then generations of trades connected to the wool and cotton industry — Thomas Legg and Sons, Touach and Co, Arthur Smart is the only remaining presence of the company on Bermondsey and Sons — until the 1950s when it became a food factory. As industries left from the 1960s onwards, new uses were found for the buildings and spaces in the area with many warehouses used by the antique dealers of the relocated Bermondsey antique market.

Charles Waller ... based at 176 Bermondsey Street

If the street number is correct, Kiwi, the site is slightly off - № 176 of the early 19th century was further up on the left. Bermondsey Street has been renumbered twice since then.

Yes it's the Yorkshire Grey. I spent many a night there in the sixties and finished my stag night there in July 1972.
