Spa Road
Re: Spa Road
Mr Hickey opened his shop on the Neckinger Estate in the early 1960s and remained in business there for nearly twenty years. I can remember using this shop quite a bit, nice man.

Re: Spa Road
The original Spa was located south of Spa Road and extended roughly from the east of Rouel Road to the railway viaduct though of course when the Spa was operating it was surrounded by little more than fields. Thomas Keyse purchased the Waterman’s Arms and about 4 acres of surrounding wasteland in 1765 Thomas Keyse died in 1800 and Bermondsey Spa finally closed in 1805. I think that the Watermans Arms Pub was on the corner of Rouel Road, where Pearce & Duffs factory was.
