Enid Street, SE16 looking from Rouel Road (1938)

The houses had railway arches just outside their back doors.

The original Lion pub can just be seen on the right corner and at the far end on the same side was The Windsor Castle.

Both pubs survived the pre and post war slum clearance of the houses by Bermondsey Borough Council.

The Lion was replaced in 1961 on the corner of Spa Road but The Windsor was demolished c.1965 and never rebuilt.

The same view nowadays would include high modern flats to the left.
