Linsey Street, Bermondsey
Image: © Ken Ripper Taken: 3 Aug 1963
Taken from the grassy area to the east of Helen Taylor House the building on the left was Parnell's grocers, a lock up shop. Mr & Mrs Parnell lived at 3 Helen Taylor House. The railway arch in the distance is the line into London Bridge Station and by proceeding under the arch St James' Road is reached. The large building at the end of the terrace in the centre of the photo was the Lord Palmerston pub, a Courage house. The terraced houses number from 11 Linsey Street (centre of photo) to 21 Linsey Street (right of photo). The coal lorry belonged to Bill Ripper whose coal yard was in nearby Dockley Road but also ran the newsagent's shop just out of shot to the right.
