On the subject of the wool shop and nearby Quilp Street, thought this press clipping from circa 1975 might be good to share. It shows the corner shop in view, with the wool shop to the left,

How are you doing, Ray? Hope you are ok mate.

Ray mate, I’m so sorry for your loss. My heartfelt condolences to you and your family. May Jen rest in eternal peace. Sending love, strength and solidarity from one Bermondsey boy to another.

Unless Fogbrain says otherwise, I think you’re correct about it being Albany Road, Kiwi. Thanks for the daily dose of nostalgic photos

Albion Street, beside the Norwegian Church. X..png Thanks for keeping us filled with our daily photos, Kiwi - much appreciated by all of us silent lurkers :-) Small correction on this one — this is actually Rotherhithe Street close to its junction with Odessa Street, more or less opposite to the ol...

I think it's Fort Road, not Lynton Road.

And I think it’s Setchell Road!

Thanks for brightening our day with a few new pics, Kiwi. Hope you’re well mate

I could likewise be wrong(!) — but I think you’re right about the caption being wrong, Kiwi. I am also seeing King and Queen Street on the left, with The Good Intent on the right.

PS: Many thanks, as always, for the regular fix of new pics!

Thanks Kiwi, that helps me to place it. So the entrance to Bury Close now stands roughly where the cafe was. The alignment of the kerb is probably the only remnant that remains from the photo!
