Renamed as the "Old Salt Quay" in 2007. Former address, King Mill Wharf, Rotherhithe Street (1871). The "Surrey Dock Tavern" (“Spice Island”) was listed at the same address until 1901, but it was located 80m to the west of this site (where modern 157 Rotherhithe Street is located). “Surrey Dock Tavern” formerly “Waterman’s Arms.

TRINITY HALLS.
The school was established by Reverend Edward Blick (Rector of Rotherhithe between 1835 and 1867) and was in use from 1836 as the Holy Trinity School, one of the National Schools which provided free primary education for the poor of the parish.
It closed in 1910 when the London County Council opened Redriff School close by. The school building survived when the original church and vicarage were destroyed by bombing in 1940.
The round plaque on the wall facing into Rotherhithe Street (under the central window in the photograph below) mentions two restored rope wells. These are not on display to the public because they are below the modern floors. The Hall has recently been completely redecorated and the floor renewed.
Holy Trinity Church Hall is available for hire at the weekends and is an ideal venue for family occasions, children’s parties or community meetings and day-care centre (2013).

First recorded about 1767 when called the 'Duke of York' and ceased trading in 1931 - possibly when the site was required for the Amos Estate shown in the image

Pageants Wharf fire station still stands at 241 Rotherhithe Street, SE16. With the decline of the Surrey Docks system and removal of the swing bridges at either end of Rotherhithe Street (replaced by permanent access) the station was closed in 1968.
