Redriff Primary School (part) Salter Road, Rotherhithe, London, SE16
On 25-04-1910 the first Redriff school opened as a three-storeyed building in Rotherhithe Street quite near Trinity Church. In 1939 most of the pupils were evacuated and on Saturday 07-09-1940 the school was totally destroyed, along with the Holy Trinity Church, by German bombs. Destroyed at the same time were buildings on a Roman Catholic area, bordering the south of the school, known as St Pelagius: chapel, convent [Sisters of Servants of the Sacred Heart], girls' home and a priest's house. The pupils returned in 1945 and were taught in houses etc. On 31-01-1949 a single-storey infant block was opened and the school progressed from there. The school was built upon Cow Lane and a large blacksmith's forge (Blacksmith Arms pub a little to the north). School closed 04-05-1990 and on 08-05-1990 they attended the school shown; that was about 200 yards away being built on what was once Lavender Dock. (In 2008 the school celebrated its centenary - after enquiries I establish this was based on the date the original foundations were laid).

Noah's Ark pub (site of) 380 Rotherhithe Street, London SE16
It was about 150 yards east of Beatson Walk and at the junction of a narrow alley called "Screw Post Row". This would make it about where the nearest corner of the white building now stands. It was a three-storey pub, first recorded in 1805 and closed in 1933.

Surrey Docks Health Centre
From this angle, the building on Downtown Road, Rotherhithe appeared disused with the entrance door boarded up, but it still appears on an NHS website and others to be functioning, so presumably there is another entrance round the other side.

Electrical installation on Downtown Road
A very heavily guarded substation: OpenStreetMap shows a shaft to the Jubilee Line here, so perhaps this is the electrical supply to the trains, or powering ventilation fans?
