Cardinal's Wharf at nr. 49, Bankside SE1. A veery beautiful building where the 'judge' lived. A long history with famous residents and thank God, it is (grade II) listed. This location was used in episode S01E10 'Judgement'. 'Now' picture from 2018.

Then and now (2019) from 'The Burning 2'. This location was challenging to solve because they've changed the bloody railway bridges ... According to Spikings Dempsey drives an Oldsmobile convertible -75. Filmed at Rotherhithe New Rd / Ilderton Rd junction SE16.

Thank you Malcolm Russell aka Mud Historian (Malcolm Russell) for an enlightening (haha) talk 📜📚Rotherhithe & Bermondsey History Society 📚📜 on London as a city of vice, as revealed through mudlarked objects. I particularly liked his line, “flagellation was ‘a thing’ in 18th-century London” 😜

Hello, from one of our followers: "I am searching for photos or drawings of slum/flats in Foxlow & Wells St. in Bermondsey (≈1863-1875) where Emba St. and Wilsons Grove estates are now. Several news articles and reports say how awful they were, but no photos." Can anyone help?

We’ve had a request from a follower: “Can anybody help with images of New Archers Wharf (as it then was, now New Archers Court) before it was converted to flats in 2007? It’s the building next to Princes Tower - 99 Rotherhithe Street. I would be so grateful.” Can you help?

From Exploring GB on Facebook: "Wapping Old Stairs, London dates back to the 16th century. Many believe the stairs were the location of Execution Dock, where pirates, smugglers and mutineers were executed by hanging including the notorious Captain William Kidd."

It is with great sadness that hear about the passing of Ray Newton, co-founder of the History of Wapping Trust, set up in 1984. Its members hope to pay tribute to Ray during its 40th year. Ray often spoke at our RBLHS meetings and events; we send our condolences to his family.
