in 40s dad was electrical super for rotherhie tunnel walked through it many times. when dad retired and lived in hudson florida he persuaded the local council to name street bermondsey street telling them orignal immos from UK ships were mostly crewed by men from bermondsey. we left bermondsey in the early 50s for Canada.

Thank you for this video. So glad you talked about the library. The original library was almost opposite the tunnel. When I was six and a bit I wanted to join the library but was I told I had to be seven years old. Seeing my disappointment the librarian told me if I could read a page from a book from the children's section I could join. I did and became the youngest member ever. I have a lifetime of reading to thank my mother for(who taught me to read) and this wonderful man who was willing to bend the rules for a little girl.
