Ada Salter Rose Garden. Southwark Park, Rotherhithe, London, SE16
Opened in 1936 and named after Ada Salter (1869-1942), wife of Dr Alfred Salter (1873-1945), the "sixpenny doctor". In 1902 they had a daughter, Joyce, and they debated whether to stay in Bermondsey or move to Kent for the cleaner air. They chose Bermondsey. Joyce died in 1910 of scarlet fever.

The lake in Southwark Park
Southwark Park was opened to the public on 19th June 1869. Its design was based on an original map produced by the Superintendent Architect Mr Vulliamy, and Alexander Mckenzie. The original intention was for part of the park to be used as building plots but the Vestry of Bermondsey opposed this. By 1883 the Rotherhithe Vestry was calling upon the Metropolitan Board of Works for the provision of an ornamental lake. On 18th August 1885 a lake filling ceremony was held and on the following Saturday notice was given that a pair of swans "graciously provided" by Queen Victoria, along with other donated waterfowl would be placed upon the water. Crowds lined the lake to witness this royal gift. However, the Royal Swan Keeper was ill so the event happened rather more quietly a few days later when Joe and Jenny, as the swans were subsequently called, took up residence on the lake. The lake was extended in 1908, downsized in the 1930s, 1970s and 1980s, but by 2002 had been restored to its original 1908 size.

Lake in Southwark Park, South London
Who said that South London is not beautiful? This lake is purely ornamental: no fishing, no paddling and no boating. A heron was observed: I strongly suspect he was breaking at least one of the bye-laws.
