Yes, the Torbay was on that corner. Elephnat Lane comes up from St Marychurch Lane where the Ship pub is. It now incorporates the stretch of what was Rotherhithe Street to the left in the photo and goes back down to St Marychurch Street just beyond the former alignment of Mayflower Street.kiwi wrote:Elephant Lane comes from the right opposite Elephant Stairs (to the Thames) down the alley with rubbish, and left of Princess Iron Works. Am I right, that The Torbay pub was on the corner left?
Rotherhithe Street

Re: Rotherhithe Street
Prince's Wharf, 1937, was a six-storey brick-built wharf next to Gordon's Wharf and linked to it by walkways. Both had been operated as granaries by Gillman and Spencer, which specialized in landing and bagging loose cereals and the manufacture of flaked maize and brewers' preservatives, but when the company was purchased by Pauls Malt Ltd in 1902, they also manufactured a product called Kositos, an animal feed.
Rotherhithe Street, Gillman and Spencer, Gordon's Wharf. A consignment from Gillman and Spencer Ltd, of their Perfecto flaked rice in packet’s.

Re: Rotherhithe Street
Is this the school by St Pauls Avenue or the one in St Pauls Lane.
