Off Rotherhithe Street between Canon Beck Road and the smaller section of Brunel Road, therefore about where the dwellings shown now stand. Filled in about the early 1960s and originally called Wintershill Street, later changing to Hanover Street but for many years known by the locals as Hanover Bay. This dates back to the mid 1700s, through to the mid 1800s, when foreign seamen made the street world-infamous as a place where "slit throats hung out". See Image for additional information.
