Off Rotherhithe New Road and about 50 yards west of Corbetts Passage. In the 1960's to 1980's and long before that, it was only known by locals as "Bogs Ole". It consisted totally of businesses within railway arches that then connected Rotherhithe New Road to Silwood Street. At least two arches contained nothing other than bones - imagine the smell! The arch far left was the Halfway House pub. The arches were and are, part of the 878 built 1832ish to carry rail lines from London to Greenwich.
