Bramcote Grove Playground, Rotherhithe, London SE16
At the junction with Barkworth and Verney Roads - when the area was revamped it was planned to build dwellings on the playground until it was discovered that the ground was donated by a wealthy benefactor for locals to use "in perpetuity" as a park (in 1914 dwellings were on the site). Believe the benefactor was from Chislehurst in Kent as people from that area donated large amounts of cash for this particular part of Rotherhithe in the late 1800s.

Bramcote pub. 68, Bramcote Grove, Rotherhithe, London, SE16
At the junction with Barkworth Road and as it has 1886 on side, can only assume that was when it was built. Known for many years as The Bramcote Arms but now known just as the Bramcote, although the owners seem to be backing it both ways.

Bramcote Park, South Bermondsey
The entrance off Varcoe Road. The "park" is in fact just a pair of small areas each about 50x50m either side of Verney Road.

The Bramcote Arms
On the corner of Bramcote Grove and Barkworth Road, a typical 19th century London "local" pub, serving the streets around it. Unlike many others, and unlike the local church
Image, this one survived redevelopment of the area and is still open.

Traffic barrier, Varcoe Road, South Bermondsey
Barriers like this are needed on most of the residential streets in this area as otherwise they become rat runs for drivers trying to escape the congestion on the Old Kent Road. Space is left at one end for cyclist permeability.

Clifftonville Tavern pub (site of) 163, Ilderton Road, Rotherhithe, London, SE16
The fine looking building shown, boasting five floors, stands on what was the tavern that could only boast of three. The area covered is about the same but it seems a shame that they did not incorporate into the new building the masonry, in the form of a large shell, that sat on the roof of the pub.
