Bermondsey Aylwin Grammar School for Girls  

Hi all, I was at Aylwin from 1963-1970 and my name is Patricia Holmes. I am still in contact with Kathy Percival, Ros Blaquiere, Sue Maisey, Rita Whittington and Anita Sams and Joan Tucker, does anyone remember us? Miss Percy was our head, our French teacher was Miss Murtough who loved Arkle and point to point (and whom I will thank forever as I now live in France, Joan lives in Canada). Our RE teacher was Mrs Arditi, the rest I would remember if promted, there was a Czech calligraphy teacher, a male typing teacher and the rest I remember events but not names. It became a comprehensive in the Upper 6th when war was declared by the schools we linked with, they must have thought us awful snobs as we had a uniform. Sadly Christine Scarborough is no longer with us but others have popped up from time to time. Anyone else out there? I was there at a time when we parted in the corridor like the Red Sea if a teacher were behind us and eating in school uniform was strictly banned, God he

Bermondsey Horselydown Lane, 1870  

Hi, my g-grandmother and her family lived in Horselydown Lane in the late 1800's. In 1871 and 1881 census they were living in no. 39. Just wondered if anyone would have any pics of that area from around that time or even from now. My g-g-grandfather was a brewers labourer so I assume it must have been the Courage brewery (Anchor?). Any pics of the brewery would be appreciated as well. Also, anyone know where any employment records would be held now? My email  Mail-me

Bermondsey Does anyone remember families living in Drummond Road in 1911  

I am looking to find any relatives of Thomas Usill Newman and Margaret Newman. The family in 1911 consisted of William, George, Gertrude, Ethel, Thomas, Bertie, Florrie, Clarence & Stanley. Stanley died in 1964 and was my husband's father. My husband has no knowledge at all of his father's family and is trying to trace any cousins, etc, he might have. Any help would be appreciated.

Bermondsey Boys Brigade  

Are there any old members of the Lifeboys/ Boys Brigade 31st company from Drummond Road Baptist Church out there. We used to meet at Keetons Road School for band practise, & marched round the streets every 1st. sunday in the month. The period I'm thinking of is about 1946~1953.
Can you imagine doing this now with all the traffic ?

Bermondsey Ship & Pilot Pub Bermondsey Wall  

Has anyone heard of, or have a photograph of the Ship & Pilot Pub near Cherry Garden Pier? It was apparently opposite The Justice Pub. I believe it was demolished in the mid 1930's. The family's surname who ran the pub was Dorothy.
Many thanks

Hello, Dennis.

I think we first met ( mid fifties ) clocking on in the stables at Courage Brewery. I didn't like being on the horse & carts in the winter! Worked at Courage for 24 years but now live in Australia. I have a group photo taken at Park St Brewery
for the lads that had done 21 years and Charley Purvey is in it. Do you remember his " rebel yell? " Do you remember when you both bought the " PYE BLACK BOX?"

Bermondsey Southwark Park Memories  

Hello

To let you know The Friends of Southwark Park have been awarded a grant by the Heritage Lottery Fund to carry out a reminiscence project. The idea is to tell the history of the park in the words of local people, culminating in a book, “Our Park”, which will be published this summer. We would like to hear from people, of all ages, who are willing to either be interviewed or to write something for us. Do you have any memories of using the park when you were a child? Or the lido? The Rose Garden? What about the park's future? Or anything you care to recall! All contributions will be considered for inclusion in the book.

If you are interested in getting involved in the “Our Park” reminiscence project please contact us through this forum or on  Mail-me 

Look forward to hearing from you.

Bermondsey Southwark Park  

I can remember my father taking us to "The Park",before the Second World War.They had Rowing Boats on the Lake,and a large Motor Boat that you could get a tour of the Lake for 2d.In those days children were not allowed into the "Rose Garden"without an Adult.I can remember trying to find out the time from the Sundail that used to stand in the centre of the walk through.We used to take sandwiches and sit at the Oval ,watching the Cricket.There was also a Large Wooden hut,situated in The Gomm,that used to sell sweets and refreshments etc.It was a lovely day out,and i can remember going into the Large Swings,where they had Rope Swings ,Umbrella's and Boat Swings,a large Slide..all the things that seem to be missing these days.The Bowling green was always a forbidden area,and even though it had a low fence,it was never damaged.I remember the Large Fountain with the Pewter Cup on a Chain that we all used to drink out of.And the part at the bottom for the Dogs.The Lido,or swimming pool,as we

Bermondsey Southwark Park  

During the war I lived in Gomm Road& had to walk thro' the park everyday to go to SPR school. Not only were you not allowed to walk thro' the Rose garden,but if you did and was seen by the gardener who seemed to work only in that area, he would chase after you and out of the nearest gate.
We used to call him Creepin' Jesus. In the park there were only 3 horsechestnut trees( conker trees) which were along the main road thro', not only were there fences around them but also KEEP OFF THE GRASS notices. Come September we still managed to play conkers.
