Old houses in Bermondsey Street 1881 HG2243/73 Homecoming: Voices of the WindrushOld houses in Bermondsey Street, 1881. Timber framed houses like these dated back to the 16th and early 17th centuries and were still common in Southwark and the surrounding areas at the beginning of the 19th century.

This photograph was commissioned by the Society for Photographing Relics of Old London to form part of a permanent visual record of historic buildings
