Bermondsey Street former printworks
Thanks to TheRatandMouse for flagging up this piece on Bermondsey in The Independent's property supplement:
Bermondsey, SE1, has changed dramatically over the past century. The first city railway - the London and Greenwich Line - was built through it in 1836, supported by 878 brick arches, which stretched for four miles. But since the rebirth of the docklands as a prime residential area, many of the large Victorian warehouses have been converted into flash city pads, intermingling with new developments and a few original Georgian houses.
Three of these can be found in Bermondsey Street, which runs off the long line of railway arches, south-east of London Bridge station. Bermondsey Street is typical of the area, with the old tannery converted into studios and offices and other Victorian buildings now smart offices, cafés and restaurants. But the three Georgian buildings at numbers 74, 76 and 78 had been used for decades as printing works.
