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.

Stands opposite Bestwood Street and that's all I know about the building.

The junction was where the former line to Peckham met the line from New Cross on the former East London Line. The Peckham tracks were lifted as early as 1913 though one track to the west side of New Cross Gate survived until 1964 [source: London Railway Atlas by Joe Brown]. As part of the redevelopment of the route for London Overground, a stub of track was laid (left foreground) to permit the Peckham route to be reinstated at a later date. The track at the far side of the formation is the northbound track from New Cross Gate that now uses a new flyover - see Image Behind it is a ramp to the new footbridge.

Site of Woodman public house, a map dated 1868 showed it on the north side of Rotherhithe New Road close to the junction with Lower Road. Above is 'today's' view.

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'.

Did at one time extend to Silwood Street. It was about this location in the early 1700's where the famous St Helena Tea Gardens stood. It was built on the periphery of the events concerning the Mill Pond and described as a general purpose entertainment area. It comprised of two fish ponds with yew trees forming alcoves, two Chinese pavilions surrounded by weeping willows and similar. Nearby was the parade ground where the Rotherhithe Volunteers trained.
