A view of a terrace of shops, 47-53 Old Kent Road, Bermondsey. On the corner with Aberdour Street is a Wimpy Bar, a US fast food chain which arrived in London in 1954 and allegedly the first to sell hamburger style meals in the UK. It operated as a diner as well as a take-away service. The menu hangs on the exterior of the window with photographic illustrations of the meal options. In the window and on the door, a sign LV for luncheon vouchers is displayed. This was a meal voucher given to employees as a benefit, which they could use in local restaurants. There are a few people passing or crossing at Aberdour Street. Adjacent to Wimpy, at number 51 is The Milk Bar cafe, advertising Coca Cola. In one window a peg letter menu board can be seen. Outside the other window is a charity collection box, typical of the time: it is a model of a girl named Wendy, wearing a caliper, with a small kitten at her feet. The charity was the Spastics Society, now known as Scope. Next to The Milk Bar is Pat Lawrence Ltd turf accountants, a licensed betting office. A man isstanding at the edge of the pavement, wearing an overcoat and a cap, gazing across Old Kent Road. A woman wearing a headscarf and an overcoat is walking past towards Cedars Mens Shop where several men are looking at the window display. Cedars has the shop awning open into the street. Above the shop, fixed to the bricked terrace is a large sign board advertising Cedars Man’s Shop Where Men Pay Less … To Dress Better. Beyond Cedars, at number 45, a shop called Newboltons is partially visible. There is a painter wearing a white boiler suit, heading towards the entrance. Although Aberdour Street remains, the entire area was demolished and redeveloped to accommodate the Bricklayers Flyover and gyratory in the late 1960s.
