Hi Cathy, The numbering in Abbey Street started at the Bermondsey Street end. Number 13 was on the north side of the road between Tower Bridge Road and Riley Street (now Riley Road). The school you saw from the railway viaduct would have been Riley Road School. The older building you describe has been demolished within the last ten years and an appartment block built on the site. Other school buildings remain, and have probably been converted to other uses. Post WW2 Riley road was a Boys only secondary school.

I suspect that number 13 was at | the Jamaica Road end of the street, with St Mary Magdalen their parish | church. I know that their school was close to the railway viaduct | because I remember my mother pointing the school out to me when we | passed on the train sometime in the early 1950's, it was a tall brick | building with a flat roof surrounded by fencing that may have been used | for sports or something. Can anyone help. | | Regards, | Cathy in South Australia | *************************************** | Send your List messages using **PLAIN TEXT** and always **TRIM AWAY** | superfluous old messages in replies. | | List Admin can be contacted at: [email protected] | | | ------------------------------- | To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to | [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the | quotes in the subject and the body of the message | | *************************************** | Send your List messages using **PLAIN TEXT** and always **TRIM AWAY** superfluous old messages in replies. | | List Admin can be contacted at: [email protected] | | | ------------------------------- | To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
