• Photos » Slide Show		26 Upper Russell Street 26 Morocco Street, formerly Upper Russell Street, Bermondsey in 1976. The massive central masonry no doubt framed the original entrance when the building was in use as the Fleece Public House. Just visible behind the car at the bottom right of the picture is the entrance to the cellar. To the left can be seen part of one the four entrances to the Bermondsey Leather Market. The existence of the pub has been documented from 1839 to 1923. Backing on to a fellmonger’s yard and surrounded by tanneries, life here during the summer months may not have been very pleasant. A brief history of the leather industry in Bermondsey can be found here: www.exploringsouthwark.co.uk
  		The Ship Public House The Ship, also known as the Ship in Distress, 16 Marigold Steet, Bermondsey. The alley on the right is Cranbourn Passage leading to Cherry Garden Street. Thomas Francis Geraghty was the landlord here in at least 1910 and 1911. The pub and all the houses in the street were demonished when the area was redevelopped in the 1960's-70s.
  		Horseshoe & Wheatsheaf Public House The Horseshoe and Wheatsheaf Public House, 34 Melior Street, Bermondsey in 1898. Thomas Francis Geraghty was the landlord here from at least 1921 to 1923. The pub still exists and today is simply named the Horseshoe.
  		The Britannia Public House The Britannia Public House, 144 Southwark Bridge Road, Bermondsey. Thomas Francis Geraghty was the publican here prior to his death in 1927. Badly damaged in a 1940 air raid it remained derelict until being demolished in the late 1950's or early 60's.

  		The Britannia Pub from Scovell Road 1940 The Britannia Pub, 144 Southwark Bridge Road (behind the lamp post) pictured from Scovell Road showing damage caused by a German parachute mine dropped during the blitz the 16th October 1940. The decorative gable which displayed the date of construction and most of the roof seems to have been knocked down. The most serious damage however was to the tenements, Queen's Building's, on both sides of Scovell Road, some blocks of which were largely destroyed. Many of the tenants were sheltering in the basement when the bomb struck – 42 lost their lives and many more were injured. Of the buildings in this photo only number 146 to the left of the Britannia is still standing today
