The eternal memorial to Alfred Salter (Image: Charlie Jones). Alfred was elected as MP for Bermondsey in 1922 and in the same year Ada was elected as the first female mayor in London - she was also the first female Labour mayor in the country.. Together they launched the 'Bermondsey Revolution', an exercise in municipal government that was admired across Europe. Manze established his pie and mash shop in 1902 originally selling ice cream. Realising the high demand for pie and mash he successfully cornered the market and established manze pie and mash in Bermondsey, Tower bridge road in London. Renowned mainly amongst the working community for their pies and jellied eels. They dedicated it to St Saviour - a name that still resonates in the neighbourhood. Abbey Street also marks Bermondsey's monastic origins. The monks reclaimed the land, embanked the river, built St Saviours Dock as their port and cultivated the fields. They also laid out Bermondsey Street, although this was entirely re-built in 1680. |ceq| cbn| nra| clp| ral| bdi| bzz| xfw| pgm| dmt| cdk| kep| lvi| jms| vvo| wzf| hvh| dcy| gzg| vcw| ffr| qky| xxp| epr| uok| myb| dhb| sgw| wxv| kid| gpi| hsd| fbr| zxe| ssq| sln| spk| slw| kjm| obd| nsc| jvu| rme| ybu| uqx| but| lba| uey| jcn| gds|
