St Saviours
My great grandmother was born in Bowling Green Lane in 1848. The family moved from there to Earl Terrace, Bermondsey in 1849. I have never been able to locate Earl Terrace on maps.

Blackfriars (1959 - 1965)
I lived in Upper Ground from 1959 to 1964 I was 6 years old my parents Vince and Kitty run the Pub The Angel on the corner of Upper Ground and Bodies Bridge. I remember the ceiling of the cellar was very low and almost stretched the length of Bodies Bridge. The underground trains run directly underneath the pub. If you were down in the cellar when a train was coming it was quite frightening

Does anyone know how this street came to be named Leyden Street? I can only find a couple of Leyden Streets in Britain, one in Glasgow in Scotland and one here

East Row, W10
The bombed out church was St. Thomas’. It was later rebuilt. I went to the primary school in East Row, St. Mary’s from 1960 and we used their old church hall for our dinners. I had a large number of relatives living in the area.
