Sign for the former Shepherd Neame pub on Plough Way which is now closed.

At the junction with Rotherhithe New Road. First recorded in 1805 and ceased trading in 1994. This is the second building; the first was facing west to 'catch' travellers on the busy Rotherhithe New Road. The one shown, built 1870, is facing north to 'catch' travellers on the busier Deptford Lower Road. About 1910 there was a very large red lion, on the roof above the white corner window, that was facing Plough Way. The clean bricks above the same window carried a large sign. The advertising board is hiding four windows. Previous names include 'Halfway House' : The Ship Marlborough' and the 'Jolly Miller'.

A traditional Irish pub on Lower Road.

On Plough Road.

Paid for by the charitable trusts of the will of William Richard Sutton who died 20-05-1900. A total of eight blocks were built in 1915 and named "Block A" to "Block H". In the early 1970's a ninth was added and each block was renamed after villages/towns within the UK :- Ayston (pictured) : Biddenham : Codicote : Deanshanger : Emphingham : Freswick : Graveley : Husbourne : Jura

Just south of Plough Way, first recorded in 1849 and closed about 1993. Had three storeys with a mock Tudor frontage.

Built about the early 1970s as the latest addition to the Sutton Estate. The site was previously that of St Barnabas Church which was consecrated 11-06-1872, five years after the death of the man who arranged its building - Rev. Edward Blick. It was from this church that the funeral procession of Field Marshal Sir William Maynard Gomm (died 15-03-1875) left for his interment at Christ Church, Jamaica Road, Rotherhithe. St Barnabas church was demolished in the late 1960s. In 1745 Plough Way was Little Rogue Lane.

The estate consists of seven buildings named :- Dunlin House (shown), Egret House, Fulmar House, Raven House, Sheldrake House, Siskin House and Tawney Way. The last is long and overlooks Lower Road. Built in the 1970's upon Maynard Road, Osprey Street, Trident Street and William Street. In 1868 Trident Street was named Wellington Street but changed before 1894.

Built in the late 1950s on the site of dwellings and a school that had been destroyed in WWII. Consists of two buildings; the one shown is John Brent House, which is believed to be named after a Rotherhithe shipbuilder. To its right can be seen the side of Albert Starr House, named after Councillor A. Starr JP, a former Mayor of Bermondsey.
