GLIAS 50th anniversary walk

Tower Bridge to Rotherhithe. Wed 17 Jul 2019


 The GLIAS walk met beside City Hall and Tower Bridge began to lift just as it was starting, and we stopped to watch

 

 as a sailing barge under power came through going upstream.

 

 Grinding wheels preserved in a courtyard of a residential development on Shad Thames

 St Saviour's Creek from Dockhead. Late 19th century warehouses replaced the notorious slum of Jacob's Island

 

 

 Prof. David Perrett, Chairman and Vice-President of GLIAS speaks at Dockhead.

 

 

 Mill St

 From Bermondsey Wall

 

 Gardens on boats at Downing's Roads Moorings which date from the early 19th century or before

 

 Works for the Thames super-sewer

 

 

 Chambers St

 Rotherhithe

 

School and watch house, Rotherhithe

The walk ended outside the Brunel Museum. I had to rush off as the railway was still not running trains
from Waterloo and I had a lengthy journey home on the Underground to Hatton Cross and then a bus

so was unable to go to the pub.
