The site was cleared and new flats erected shortly after this photograph was taken.

Max Bygraves at 55 Swan Road, Rotherhithe (1974) There was a pub - The Watermans Arms - on the corner of Swan Road and Kenning Street. It closed in 1907 to be replaced by a corner shop. Max Bygraves was born in the council flat buildings next to the shop.

The long range of late 17th century dwellings of Pennington Street stood directly opposite the towering walls and warehouses of London Docks, which they pre-dated - hence the raised level of road surface which provided access to the Docks. By the early twentieth century, many older buildings such as these, offered rooms and lodgings for the working poor, who are gathered here outside their houses.

The mural is one of a number of environmental art projects in which the artist was involved. The work consists of around 350,000 pieces of Italian vitreous glass specially designed for mosaics. The background shows the skyline along Rotherhithe’s riverfront, as seen from Wapping on the opposite shore. The buildings include 19th century dock warehouses, cranes and industrial chimney stacks. The scene is dominated by the clock tower of St Mary’s church. It is from this ancient waterfront that the Mayflower is said to have started its voyage which took the Pilgrim Fathers from Plymouth to New England.
