A couple walking past a tunnel on the junction between Redcross Way and Southwark Street near Borough Market. Taken on film during the London Pentax and Kodak Photowalk organised by Analogue Wonderland last June (there's more walks organised this year). Film was developed and scanned by Analogue Wonderland. Some editing on the image has been made after I obtained the scans.

Between 25-33 Southwark Street and the railway bridge there was an early 20th-century wooden sign. Although faded, it was still readable when photographed in February 2009. It read "Barlow Roberts, Shop Fitter, Builders and Contractors, Saw Planing, Moulding Mills(?), 15 Redcross St, Estimates free for all kinds of building work and structural alterations, Best... & Despatch". Since the demolition of the building in 2021, the board is no longer there and its current whereabouts are unknown.
This building, also called Universal House, stood beside the railway bridge which crosses Southwark Street at the junction with Redcross Way. The view is looking roughly south. Photographed in March 2011, it survived until around 2021 before being demolished.
Graham Greene’s brilliant story – which was made into a landmark film and published as a novella – now comes to the stage in a new musical with book & lyrics by Don Black and Christopher Hampton, music by George Fenton, and direction by Trevor Nunn.
Post-war Vienna is the setting as Holly Martins arrives at the invitation of his friend and hero, Harry Lime, only to discover that Harry has been killed in a car accident. But nothing that he is told about what happened makes any sense. The tension mounts as Holly enters the world of black marketeers and military bureaucracy, culminating in a chase through the Viennese sewers, as Holly tries to discover what happened to Harry…and who is the third man?
