I think this must be in the new block built after Guinness’s Buildings were knocked down, in the late 1960s. It wasn’t like that when I lived there in Guinness’s Buildings, this is luxury from my time.

Old newspaper cutting.
Posted in Pages Walk as both children lived there, and both went to Webbs Street School.

There is a picture in the Tower Bridge Road Topic of Charlie Pauly with his mum.

Information provided by Ian Pauly, Charlies Son.
Interesting and nice story of the little boy behind the water cart (Charlie Pauly). Charlie joined the Royal Marines at 17 as a PTI and was Drum Major of the band, served on HMS Belfast in the Korean War. Two years after leaving the Marines he joined the RAF and was Drum Major of their band as well. Sadly, Charlie passed away in 1982 aged 58.

Who remembers these bins in Guinness Buildings, Pages Walk. They came in around the late 1950s, before that each landing had a chute where you but your rubbish, this would drop down into a hole just outside of the entrance. Imagine what it must have smelt like in the flat just above the chute. These bins were put in the middle of the square where we played football or cricket, so they got pushed all over the place, no consideration for us kids.
