Think at that time Bermondsey Borough Council had entertainment section. It was great, shame it can’t reintroduced. A few swings wouldn’t go amissed. In some.parts of UK there are.outdoor gym equipment. That promote well being as well as being fun.
I never knew it was at one time a burial ground for poor patients of Guys hospital, poor devils to be dug up and parts recycled!
I lived in old house in Bartholomew street, when I moved in the garden was builders one full of rubble…sorting out the far end I was horrified to find bits of human bones. Under the football pitch of school was burial ground and a chapel. The was also a Quaker burial ground in Long.Lane..which is now a play area on the Count estate.
