Grid Reference needs checking, and is the address correct? - Chris Grabham
--- the following annotation is from Bob Rust, GLIAS :
The address is Spa Road that gets its name from Bermondsey Spa. Built in 1770 on the site of a mineral spring making Bermondsey a Spa town where people came to drink the waters. Bermondsey Park now occupies the site and there are plans to redevelop the whole area. Correct grid ref TQ 3416 7923. The one given is where the line crosses Abbey Street. - Robert Mason - 23 April 2022 - Robert Mason - 10 November 2023 - Robert Mason - 10 November 2023 - Robert Mason - 10 November 2023 - Robert Mason - 10 November 2023 - Robert Mason - 11 November 2023
