- This film was originally done using a cine camera in 1982
due to the film not being transferred to VHS Tape until the 1990's there is some deterioration to the sound and picture, but take that into consideration it is a marvellous piece of history
My Grandmother came from Cherry Garden Pier my father would often visit. Knowing Rotherhithe very well how it has changed. Thank you for posting. My Grandmothers name was Pritchard. she and my Aunt Edwina were killed in 1944 by a V2 rocket.
Used to love shopping down the blue as a kid Nan lived in silwood street my mum worked at shutleworths chocolate factory loved those times
Great film clips Mick,Good bit's of history there... Watching the bit about the tunnel,& St Olaves,I was hoping to see the old school by the rotherhithe tunnel before it was turned into a round about,but I think it was pulled down by 82 ?

Thanks for this Michael - I enjoyed it a lot. I believe you went to St Pauls/Marys school. I think my brother was in your year.
Live on Rotherhithe street, thanks for this. Agree with other comment, the music was not needed, but what a joy to see the area as it was.
I've long been wondering about a small point about the Byfield organ at St. Mary's. in the early 1800s, say around 1830, where would the bellows "boy" have pumped the air into the organ? Have read a couple books where the organ is described and have the booklet St. Mary's has published, but no one mentions this. I'm trying to get a picture of the organ being used in a service around then, and this is the missing piece.
If you can help, thanks!
very interesting by WHY did you have to dub music over it? very distracting
