Re: St. James's church
After reading about the Joy Slide, i started looking around on the www. and found this quote from a Brenda Durnell. Together with reading the Posts from Freddie and Bemondseybeat, this may be a very sad ending to the Joy Slide, Like many i was hoping for a fairytale ending, hoping it was put into st...

What is that green box exactly? It's awful! Probably the same person who allowed the slide to be removed? You can't really see St. James's Church from St. James's Road anymore!

Re: St. James's church
Posted by ianmartin st james inside.jpg Before I visited St. James's Church recently I knew very little about it, other than my childhood memories. When I joined this marvellous forum I naturally learned a great deal more. My Mum grew up in Bermondsey and always lived very close to the Church, her ...

Re: St. James's church
Posted by ianmartin You probably all think I am obsessed with St. James's Church, but it spans many generations, I mentioned before, it must be one of the most iconic, and enduring buildings in Bermondsey. It escaped the Luftwaffe, and, so far, touch wood, has escaped the town planners knife. It ne...
