Tooley Street
Engraving of the demolition of St Olave's Church Tooley Street.
Only the turret was presverved and is now a Grade II listed building. It can be found in the south east corner of Tanner Street recreation ground
It was adapted for use as a water drinking fountain but is now disused.
By the look of today's picture it is not only disused but also abused with Graffiti.

Picture of one of the two Tooley Street Post Offices around 1960. I have been trying to place where in Tooley Street it was and according to the map number 61 was between Hays Lane and Battle Bridge Lane so todays picture is the area where I think it was.
Specifically, it was this bay:

fosney Tooley Street --Post Office.
I think you are right with the Post Office between Hays Lane & Battle Bridge Lane. The other Post Office was between Vine Lane & Weaver’s Lane near the Antigallican Pub, you can see the letter box where it was. The cafe (Bell'Aria) in the picture, corner of Vine Lane, I would go into when I was driving. Picture 1973.
- Antigallican Pub, 155 Tooley Street 2011
- Tooley Street
- 1980, same location. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Hobsons factory and offices in Tooley St, several hundred employees worked at making all garments and accessories required for the Guards uniforms. In the picture above to the left you can see Hobson & Sons.
- Hobson & Sons, Tooley Street
1934 A worker at Robson's factory in Tooley Street, London, fits a cane structure on the head of a live model, from which a busby of the Guardsman will be manufactured.
- I think this is Hobson’s not Robson’s? >>>>>>>>>>>>
