Nostalgic Inquiry in Rotherhithe – SE16
I came across a recent post discussing incidents in primary schools, which prompted me to reflect on my own experiences. From 1997 to 2015, I lived in London, and there was a primary school adjacent to my house. Although I never attended this school, I can’t recall its name. I even checked Google Maps, but it seems that location is now just two football fields!
For those familiar with Rotherhithe: this primary school was located right next to Burnside Close in SE16. It’s not Alfred Salter or Redriff. If anyone remembers the name of the primary school near Alfred Salter and Bacon’s College, I would greatly appreciate your help!
It sounds like you’re trying to remember a primary school from your time in Rotherhithe. Based on your description, the school you’re thinking of could be St. John’s Primary School, which is located near Alfred Salter and Bacons College. It’s a possibility since it fits the location you’re describing. If that’s not the one, you might also want to consider St. Mary’s Church of England Primary School, which is not too far off either. I hope this helps jog your memory! Let me know if you need any more information.
