Hi there, are we allowed to film in the gardens? We have a fashion shoot coming up and would love to use the gardens as a backdrop for some shots.

Thanks!

Hi David
I lived at no.1 with my parents and three sisters until I married. Have been back once many years ago and saw the fantastic difference that has been made since we were children.
Hope you are well.
Regards.
Barbara.

In reply to david hancock. We'd love to hear yours too! And do you have photos? Have you visited recently? What do you think of the cleaned-up aspect now?

I am very happy to find out that the memorial re: 1917 Zeppelin bomb on Calmington Road is within your gardens. My late Grandmothers family owned the Wet and fried fish shop that was completely destroyed, killing her Mother, younger sister and her brothers girlfriend a cousin and his girlfriend. My gran was 11 years old and her sister only 7. I am hoping to travel to see the memorial very soon.

In reply to Colin Hose. Have you tried the Southwark Local History Library? They hold records, photos, books and registers for the local area. If they haven't got information you need, they may well be able to suggest where else you could try. Given the tightness of local council budgets, their staffing level would probably prevent them from doing research for you, but if you can visit the Library, which is five minutes walk from London Bridge Station, they will help you to find your way around their resources. Their page on the Southwark Council website is at https://www.southwark.gov.uk/libraries/local-history-library-and-archive/about-the-archives

Hello, can anyone help me, my great, great grandmother Emma Elizabeth Hose died in the Female Friendly Asylum in 1909, does anyone know if there is any further information I could get on her and does anybody know as to what age they were admitted to the Asylum.
Best Wishes,
Colin Hose
