Hallo Which would be the most likely newspaper in Bermondsey to carry a report on a death in May 1957? The body was found at Bricklayers Arms British Railways Goods Yard, SE1. The deceased lived in Geoffrey House, Pa---- Street, SE1. The inquest report would not have survived as this was a suicide by hanging, nothing to make it worthy of keeping by the coroner. I've had a look on the British Newspaper Archive site. They only go up to 1950. There is nothing on the LMA site. Connie in London

Hello Connie, The paper most likely to carry a report of this event would be The South London Press. The Southwark Local History Library at John Harvard Library in Borough High Street has some SLP on microfilm. Their website says they have local papers from 1856 to the present.
