The Jolly Waterman, 51 Rotherhithe Street - in
It would appear that this is the Jolly Waterman which was at 51 Rotherhithe
Street. The condition and quality of the picture is poor but it does show
the premises two doors away is 'Newmans' Tailors shop, showing a street
number of 53 (which would make the pub number 51) . It shows the name above
the pub door as being G H WRIGHT.
The second photo showing a bar with four bar staff is probably the interior
of the Jolly Waterman. Both photos were found together in the property of an
elderly lady who passed away a couple of years back. I have no information
as to her details other than she was known as 'Florrie'. She told stories of
how she played in her uncles pub which backed onto the river (The Thames?)
and how the yard was infested with rats
The man second from right in interior shot seems similarish to the man
standing at the door of pub in exterior photo. Unfortunately there are no
dates or notes written on the backs of the pictures.
The interior shot shows a lot of HENEKEY'S bottles and adverts for Port and
Whisky. ***
Probably the interior of the Jolly Waterman
