Over in Webber Row, a glorious corner of SE1 near Waterloo, we're gearing up to celebrate what we think is the centenary of our small estate next year.
We'd love to hear from anyone who remembers Webber Row in the old days - the further back the better - or who might even have some old pics.
Alternatively, if anyone has older relatives or friends who remember growing up in Mawdley House, Dauncey House, Algar House, Delarch House or Overy House, we'd love to speak to them.
We've already heard that there was a bomb shelter built under the grassy area between Algar and Delarch - could you help us track down the baby that was apparently born down there during a WW2 raid?
We hope to collect old photographs, anecdotes and reminiscences and make a newsletter for the occasion.

Any help much appreciated!

Jason.

Just around the corner in Peabody Blackfriars Road - would be happy to help you - I can if you like make a trip with anyone from Webber Row to the library behind John Harvard - they are bound to have loads of photos - but there will be a small cost involved! I know, I've bought a few of our estate and Blackfriars Road for my local project (which, after 5 years of work, lost everything on my PC so have to start from scratch!!!)

I work full time, so will have to make arrangements with you or whoever.

We have just started our newsletter for the area, so if you would like to be involved in that, please let me know - our new group is the Blackfriars Community Action Group.

Feel free to email me - jenny_marquis[at]hotmail.com
