Neckinger. Not so much the name of a street as of the river that flows underground beneath Abbey Street at this end, as part of its 2.6 mile journey under South London. The Neckinger joins the Thames at St Saviour’s Dock. The watercourse provided a water supply for tanneries and factories. One of the largest leather factories in Bermondsey was Bevington’s Neckinger Mills on Abbey Street Image The housing shown here is typical of the old LCC (London County Council) estates.
