Picture outside of the former Liptons Sausage Factory later Richmond Sausages in Spa Road which was opposite the Salvation Army in Spa Road now demolished as is this factory. Picture taken before the annual Beano in the middle 1950s to middle 1960s.
Can you recognise anyone from that time in the photograph?

The Salvation Army hostel and recycling centre opened in Spa Road, Bermondsey, in 1899 with the purpose of not only getting homeless men off the street, but also to help them rebuild their lives.

In 1913 the elevator was devastated by fire – and again by another blaze in 1984. Spa Road eventually closed its doors in 2001 and the building was demolished in 2003.

Found this old film about the Salvation Army in Spa Road. All the years I lived in Bermondsey and I never gave a thought as to what went on in there.
