Looking from the Dun Cow end of Dunton Road towards the Railway Bridge. Earl Road sweeps round to the right and out of sight on the left would be Marcia Road, behind us to the right was Georges Fish And Chip Shop, The Hole in the Wall.
On the left at the bottom of the bridge are the wooden gates that led into the Railway Yard.
The Chimney of Youngs Works can be seen in the distance in Grange road.
Does anyone remember the Tea/Coffee wagon that used to stand at the bottom of the bridge this side on the corner of Earl Road and Rolls Road at night
This area has all changed today and has been taken over by Tesco.

I think the road behind could be Fort Road, with Dartford House on the left and Alfred Salter House to the right. :?:
Dunton Road, Bermondsey, c1960, The Longfield Estate. Is that a Ford Prefect Car.  X.png

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

Hi Fogbrain & GSLondon. Whichever way you look at it I got it wrong, as my teacher would say you could do better and yes, I can remember that far back. I think you are both right as I believe that part of Fort Road did became Setchell Road, the Conquering Hero was on the corner of Lynton Road, sorry about that and thanks for pointing it out. :)

Yes, but it's the Fort that counts!
