- Pages Walk, Bermondsey Fighting Fire 4 June 1936
Pages Walk
Re: Pages Walk
My great Aunt Rose Stapleton was killed with her two young sons Edward and Frederick when a bomb hit their house on the corner of Pages Walk and Grange Road on 15th November 1940. This building must be named after her.

This is a photo of my granddad Charlie Voss sitting in Cookseys scrapyard in Pages Walk almost at the site of the bomb where his sister was killed.
Re: Pages Walk
Living in Guinness’s Building our flat overlooked this part of Harold Estate. Many a time I would dropped down from the big wall dividing the estates to get away from the caretaker of Guinness’s, George Horton,only to get globbered by Joe Stacey,caretaker of Harold Estate.Talk about out of the frying pan and into the fire, still it was good fun. I wonder if the youngsters today know what climbing is all about. Silly me of course they do they Climb out of bed and lay on the Sofa.

I remember climbing over that wall and dropping down, or we would climb up on the Air raid shelter run along to the end drop down and you was in Swan Mead. unless my memory has failed?
Re: Pages Walk
Hi BermondseyBoy, your memory has’nt failed you,the air raid shelter did end in Swan Mead. What about the tin shed which was there, climb up one side, slid down the other, great fun. If I remember right another wall we climb over, though we needed help, was opposite the tunnel under Harold Estate and you dropped down in between, I think Arundel and Chichester buildings though I could be wrong on the names of the buildings

This is my brother-in-law Albert Taylor, married to my sister Sheila. Albert is holding Tony, with Robert, and Stephen Hamilton my nephews, they are my brother Bob’s three sons. The three of them lived in Guinness’s Buildings with Bob and Joyce their mum. This was taken in 1961 in Pages Walk, by the entrance to Harold Estate. The Vic pub is on the left, with Crosse & Blackwell’s in the background.
