Nice to see old silwood estate and the old area was brought up in silwood married in the church in silwood, worked at pollards and son in the blue ,ran through that tunnel across Southwark park ,got the kids from Rotherhithe nursery in my lunch brake dropped them at mums in moland mead silwood and ran back to work if the bus did not pass by in time memories thank you
I moved into Moland Mead when it was brand new and grew up there. All the places you mention are in a film I made about the estate. You can register and rent it here if you fancy it: emmaitch.vhx.tv/checkout/our-history-se16/purchase?fbclid=IwAR13I-d2RsbGJY7EG46p2Mlg7z_og0ci0G61HsaiX1eOFaLodrlKkUM4VNI
What a great vid of the area I grew up as a kid. This is a right eye opener. Bermondsey has changed over the years but haven't we all. Southwark park road I haven't been there for nearly thirty years. But I have been back since to Manze pie mash . Tower bridge road on many occasions. Miss the old place but now living in West Sussex but never forgotten my old manor.
I'm from the wrong side of the Old Kent Road 😂😅, my mum was born in Bermondsey just off Jamaica Rd , knew every street you travelled , it has so changed, loved that 👌👍
Jesus, the number of times I got stuck in the lift and had to wait for the Fire Brigade to come and get me out! Lived on the 20th floor for many years. Been to Melbourne too. Very nice. Would live there if I could.
Lovely work geezer I'm born and bred in the blue used to love lous pie n mash shop when I was a kid. Haven't been around there for years now because I don't want to see all the changes. Keep up the good work Michael
I was born and bred in bermondsey lived in Marcia road behind the dun cow pub went to bacon's school Millwall born and bred any one remember George's the chippy on rolls road remember it as the hole in the wall just where the Tesco's is now this side of dunton bridge
Hello Michael, hope you are keeping well. it's so good to see old bermondsey It's really changed, I really need to go back just to see the old place So sorry to hear that one of your friends has cancer My 27 year old son sadly passed away from that horrible disease he had lymphoma and unfortunately my beautiful boy could not cope with cancer. Been watching the marathon this morning remembering when my boys were little I would take them down Jamaica road and watch all the runners miss them days Thank you Michael for a great video ❤Clare x
I think every one of us has been touched by cancer; it's such a terrible disease. You must have friends and family you can visit in Bermondsey as an excuse to come back.
@@emmaitch Yes I have a sister remember the woman you interviewed with Gary beadle and his sister carlene and mum lives with her but unfortunately we are not close But yeah I have a few friends still there we will go back in the summer It takes quite a good few hours to get there living in west Midlands.
I used to stay in my friend's flat at OKR and Ethnard road when I was on vacation but now I see it's a construction site. His flat was a dump but it was a free place to stay.
Thanks so much as brought a tear to me eye towards the end of your vid! You ended up passing through "Plough Way" based in Rotherhithe SE16. Lived here with my beautiful family, March, 2007-January 2020. A Bermondsey girl but an educated one, lol. Moved to Stoke on Trent during Pandemic basically for a new challenge regards Accommodation, Work ect. Now however wanna move back due to health issues, plus missing family terribly. Another Grandchild on the way any day now... Come on Princess as Nanna waiting! Problem however have beautiful Bungalow but due to distance 120 mile or so from London exchange proving difficult to say the least. Anyone able to suggest my best options now as getting back home! Stoke ain't home just a stop gap. Been here 3 years but enough now thank you very much or as me kids would type TYVM, no not I as old skool mate 😂 proper pen and paper gal. All me family from Bermondsey Pages Walk, apart from Dad Walworth Boy, Grovenor Terrace. Both Parents "Kicked the Bucket" sadly. Bloody hell, telling my life story here. Just pouring my heart out as loved reminiscing over the vid. Covered my old turf, Mum loved the Blue, we moved from Bermondsey see back in 1983 to Walworth Manor. She hated area quoting "Ain't the same, ya know. Feel like a foreigner". We only moved 20 minutes drive away for God's sake from Leroy Street - East Street. A beautiful 3 Bed House with Garden from a 1 Bed Flat. Shared Bedroom with Mum and younger half Sister, eventually had me own Bedroom at aged 17, therefore Happy Days. Loved that house, unfortunately mum passed, wonderful Sister being corrupt actually sold house back to Southwark Council for 20k as they clocked she deliberately remained there criteria stated family home plus under occupancy 2 additional Bedrooms. Once obtained Cheque, cleared Mum's home and left. Found out couple years later as eldest Son dropped Bombshell. Stated yeah knew Mum, Aunty Liza said not to say nothing as you'd have caused a fuss! Well too damn right! Loved house and would Ave moved back without a second thought as hated our 3 Bedroomed renovated Victorian Flat based in Rotherhithe, forced to Bid, moved due to overcrowding, Medical Needs therefore multiple grounds. Loved area old Surrey Docks became ultra trendy "Surrey Quays" from 1986 onwards another long story there! As worked for Construction Company "Taylor Woodrow" Quantity Surveyor's Secretary. Approved Proposal from Local Authorities, eventually renovated entire area including Canada Water Tube Station and Library. Little did I know back then 20 years later, move just around the corner to "Plough Way"! "It's a funny old World or Game" yeah Michael or whatever you said darling. Spot on! Just wanna come home now as not a "Stokie" different, stick out like a sore thumb here...Time to come home. Miss me Pie n Mash. Brought up on the stuff. Me Dad would check out every one from N, S, E, W London. Very cool parent, a Food Critic back then. Love, peace to all. Bermondsey Gal, Dennie ❤️
Been from Leeds each time I’ve come down here it’s safe to say if you blindfolded Me and took it off I’d know within seconds if I was South or the River. It’s got it’s own unique look and feel to the area….. I was down the other month & we walked under the river, through a Tunnel to Greenwich. All the times I’ve come down, in 54 years on this earth I never knew you could walk underneath…….
Probably cos it ain't about Millwall. But next time you're down The Blue tell them they have to mention Millwall every time someone points a camera at them.
1:00 Police officers breaking the law. 1:30 Three offences 1:35 The only cyclists on the OKR obeying the law - at the time of filming 5:00 more offences but you clipped them. Suprisingly light on the Criminal Cyclist element.
Does anyone remember williams brothers the butchers in the market sq the blue I was the butchers boy there when it opened in 1976 ,I lived on the silwood estate Goldsworthy gdns, proper people back then.
Proper accents none of this street talk

I was naming all the pubs along the way as well as the ghost one all gone.
Been from Leeds each time I’ve come down here it’s safe to say if you blindfolded Me and took it off I’d know within seconds if I was South or the River.
It’s got it’s own unique look and feel to the area…..
I was down the other month & we walked under the river, through a Tunnel to Greenwich. All the times I’ve come down, in 54 years on this earth I never knew you could walk underneath…….
There's another one by Woolwich Ferry that you can walk under, but the ferry is free so worth a little ride across and back.
My old neck of the woods.
13.58 why didn’t you stop for the old geezer halfway across the crossing… .
Naughty geezer,naughty
Bermondsey boy no mention of Millwall
Probably cos it ain't about Millwall. But next time you're down The Blue tell them they have to mention Millwall every time someone points a camera at them.
1:00 Police officers breaking the law.
1:30 Three offences
1:35 The only cyclists on the OKR obeying the law - at the time of filming
5:00 more offences but you clipped them.
Suprisingly light on the Criminal Cyclist element.
Jog on
Bermondsey!
Shame u missed out Jamaica Rd, Southwark Park and Rotherhithe St.
The older guy who sells fish passed away RIP the one on 11:30
Yes. Funeral on July 1st.
Does anyone remember williams brothers the butchers in the market sq the blue I was the butchers boy there when it opened in 1976 ,I lived on the silwood estate Goldsworthy gdns, proper people back then.

Millwall fans come from all over but their stadium is in Bermondsey.
