Slipper’s Place, Rotherhithe (1958) Situated between Southwark Park and Southwark Park Road, this terrace was built c1850 on ground particularly unsuited to building, as the area had previously been a series of ditches and islands that fed into a mill stream. The site was cleared and new flats erected shortly after this photograph was taken. TUM image id: 1661077092 Licence:	Enid Street, SE16 looking from Rouel Road (1938) The houses had railway arches just outside their back doors. The original Lion pub can just be seen on the right corner and at the far end on the same side was The Windsor Castle. Both pubs survived the pre and post war slum clearance of the houses by Bermondsey Borough Council. The Lion was replaced in 1961 on the corner of Spa Road but The Windsor was demolished c.1965 and never rebuilt. The same view nowadays would include high modern flats to the left.
