Desperately Seeking Susan

Watermen's Square

One of the entrances to the Royal Watermen's Almshouses in Penge with a beautiful water pump. Not sure if it is still working though. The Almshouses were built in 1840 for retired freemen and widows of the Watermen and Lighter-men's company of the City of London. The original inhabitants have since been moved to other homes and the original buildings have been converted into private homes.
