The History of Bermondsey
During the Anglo-Saxon period Bermondsey is likely to have been a higher, drier spot in an otherwise surrounding marshy area. Bermondsey’s earliest written appearance is in the Domesday Book of 1086 during the Anglo-Saxon and Norman period. It was then held by King William, though a small part was in the hands of Robert, Count of Mortain, the king’s half brother, and younger brother of Odo of Bayeux, then earl of Kent. Its Domesday assets were recorded as including 13 hides, a church, 5 ploughs, 20 acres of meadow, and woodland for 5 pigs. It rendered £15 in total !
During the 14th century, King Edward III built a manor house close to the Thames in Bermondsey in 1353. The excavated foundations are visible next to Bermondsey Wall East, close to the famous Angel public house.
As it developed over the centuries, Bermondsey underwent some striking changes. After the Great Fire of London, it took on the character of a garden suburb especially along the line of Grange Road and Bermondsey Wall East, as it became more urbanised. A pleasure garden was constructed during the Restoration period in the 17th century, commemorated by the Cherry Garden Pier. Samuel Pepys once visited here.
A rare surviving building from this period is St Mary Magdalen Church in Bermondsey Street, completed in 1690. This church survived the 19th-century redevelopment phase and the Blitz unscathed. It is an unusual survivor for Bermondsey as buildings of this period are relative rarities in Inner London in general.
It was from the Bermondsey riverside that the painter J. M. W. Turner executed his famous painting of The Fighting “Temeraire” Tugged to her Last Berth to be Broken Up (1839), depicting the veteran warship being towed to Rotherhithe to be scrapped.
By the mid-19th century factories sprang up, most notably Alaska chocolate, Salt, cheese and Hartley’s Jam.Bermondsey vestry hall was built on Spa Road in 1881 but was severely damaged by bombing during the Blitz in 1941. It was demolished soon thereafter. The original vestry hall was extended to create the Bermondsey Town Hall in 1930. The area was extensively redeveloped during the 19th century and early 20th century with the expansion of the river trade and the arrival of the railways. London’s first passenger railway terminus was built by the London to Greenwich Railway in 1836 at London Bridge. The first section to be used was between the Spa Road Station and Deptford High Street. This local station had closed by 1915.
