Plough Way- Advert from the 1930s
Minetts Sawmills founded in 1887 by Thomas Minett. The sawmill was one of the oldest, if not the oldest trade sawmill in London. Both the sawmill and the adjacent school were hit by bombs on the first night of the Blitz.
Can anyone remember this sawmill and tell us when it finally closed?

- The church of St Barnabas and the rectory in the Parish of St Mary Plough Way Rotherhithe 1907.St Barnabas was destroyed in the 1960s. The site is now occupied by Jura House. I think it was called Plough Road in 1907.?
- Sutton Dwellings (part), Plough Way, Rotherhithe. A total of eight blocks were built in 1915 and named "Block A" to "Block H". In the early 1970's a ninth was added. Picture 2016

A word of thanks to Michael O’Sullivan for this information.
In the picture of the VE day celebrations, my Aunt Lily is dressed as Charlie Chaplin near the back and my Cousin Albert Bartlett is in the front row next to the Queen, he is dressed as a black minstrel. I was told the young fellow in the fancy dress as Hitler became a comedian.
