Bankside and Borough Walkabouts Bankside and Borough walkabouts: Report of Findings London Borough of Southwark 7 February 2007 Bankside and Borough walkabouts: 2 December 2006 Contents Introduction 2 Methodology 2 Walkabout notes: Route 1 3 Walkabout notes: Route 2 13 Walkabout notes: Route 3 20 Next steps 39 Appendix 1 40 The views expressed in this report are those of the walkabout participants and do not necessarily represent those of LB Southwark. 1 Bankside and Borough walkabouts: 2 December 2006 INTRODUCTION The council is in the preliminary stages of preparing planning and design guidance for Bankside and the Borough. The guidance will cover matters relating to retail and town centre uses; design and built form, including the height, bulk and massing of new buildings; heritage conservation; public realm and landscaping; and pedestrian and cycle movement. It will supplement the vision and policies for Bankside and the Borough which are set out in the draft Southwark Plan (the Unitary Development Plan) and will be adopted as a supplementary planning document (SPD). Once adopted, together with the Southwark Plan, it will help inform the assessment of planning applications in the Bankside and Borough area. The council is keen to involve the local community in the preparation of the guidance and will be organising several consultation events to facilitate this. The first of these events were “walkabouts” which took place in December 2006. The findings of the walkabouts are contained in this report and will be one of a number of considerations which help inform the preparation of the SPD. METHODOLOGY The walkabouts were undertaken on Saturday December 2 2006. Representatives from a variety of local resident and interest groups attended, along with council officers. Three walks were undertaken: • Park Street – Redcross Way – Mint street Park • Sumner street – Great Suffolk Street – Southwark Bridge Road • Hatfields – Blackfriars Road – Nelson Sq Gardens – Rushworth Street – Webber Street Appendix 1 shows each route. The attendees were divided into three groups and each groups discussed aspects of the route which they liked and where improvements could be made, taking notes and photographs along the way. The groups then discussed their findings and visually represented these on large maps of the area. Each group’s findings and notes have also been collated in this report. 2 Bankside and Borough walkabouts: 2 December 2006 WALKABOUT NOTES – REDCROSS WAY (ROUTE 1) Participants: Gary Rice – Southwark Council Marion Marples – Southwark Cathedral and Christ Church Jo Dubiel – BRF/ Charterhouse/ Local Resident Clare Armstrong – Living Streets 1. Redcross Way - Park Street to Southwark Street • Redcross Way/ Park Street junction needs better signage for Borough Market and Redcross Gardens • The car park located on the corner of Redcross Way and Park Street is a dead area and has the potential for improvement (see figure 1). The site would benefit from a lively street frontage use, but must be of a smaller scale and sympathetic to the Victorian shop fronts Figure 1: Car park on corner of Park Street and Redcross Way • Pavement works are needed along both sides of the street. Consider pavement widening works or a shared surface as the footway is currently too narrow (figure 2) 3 Bankside and Borough walkabouts: 2 December 2006 Figure 2: Redcross Way looking south to Southwark Street • Dislike car parking on street frontage • There is potential for improving the railway viaduct (figure 3) Figure 3: Viaduct from Park Street • Look at the idea of providing a shared pedestrian/ vehicle surface throughout Borough Market 4 Bankside and Borough walkabouts: 2 December 2006 • Stoney Street should be closed to vehicles during the hours of operation of Borough Market • Make something more of the brewery history of the area • Return community notice board • Important/ beneficial buildings include: 5 to 8 Redcross Way Thames House (the façade should be retained) 22, 24, 26 and 28 Southwark Street (the Hop Exchange) and 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15 Park Street 2. Southwark Street/Redcross Way junction • The buildings located on the northern corners of the Redcross Way/ Southwark Street junction are derelict/in poor condition and in need of attention (figure 4) Figure 4: Dilapidated buildings on the corner of Southwark Street and Redcross Way • Better signage facilitating links to Red Cross Gardens and Borough Markets are needed • A zebra crossing is needed for commuters (including school children, the disabled and elderly) crossing Southwark Street. The street is wide with fast moving traffic and difficult to cross • There is potential for improvement along railway viaduct. The glazed bricks under arch should be cleaned and restored (figure 5) 5 Bankside and Borough walkabouts: 2 December 2006 Figure 5: Glazed bricks under railway viaduct • Landscaping needs to be maintained 3. Redcross Way - Southwark Street to Union Street • There is the potential to create a public garden in the Crossbones Cemetery site, possibly linking with BOST garden at Red Cross. Could this be pursued through a s106 planning obligation? The boundary fence needs to be enlivened, if site is to remain vacant for some time (figure 6) 6 Bankside and Borough walkabouts: 2 December 2006 Figure 6: Redcross Way looking north with the Crossbones Cemetery site on the right • Redcross Way/ Union Street junction needs better signage • Union Street is an important pedestrian/ cycle route. However, the pedestrian footway on either side of the street should be improved • It is important to keep Victorian buildings located along Union Street • Key local views/ vistas: View from the north east corner of the Redcross Way/ Union Street junction towards Southwark Cathedral and the City of London and View from the southern side of the railway viaduct (when standing on Redross Way) towards Southwark Cathedral and the City of London • Important/ beneficial buildings include: 10 to 20 Redcross Way (Triangle Court) 22 Redcross Way (Church of the Most Precious Blood) and 48, 50 and 52 Union Street (Diocesan Education Centre) 4. Redcross Way - Union Street to Marshalsea Road • There is an open feel and view of sky in middle of Redcross Way (by gardens and school) which is rare in this area and should be preserved • Redcross Gardens is a gem but needs to be open later in the evening • Pavement works are needed along both sides of the road • There is an important link between primary schools and Redcross Gardens and an opportunity to close road during certain times of the day to create a shared space (figure 7) 7 Bankside and Borough walkabouts: 2 December 2006 Figure 7: Redcross Way looking south • Important/ beneficial buildings/ open spaces include: Redcross Gardens; 47-49 Union Street; and Monarch Flats building frontage located at 20-22 Marshalsea Road • Key local views/ vistas: The view from the footpath out the front of St Saviours and St Mary Overie Church of England Primary School towards St George the Martyr Church • There is conflict between pedestrians, vehicle parking and commercial trucks parking on pavement (figure 7) • A number of roads around this area feel unsafe at night, including: Redcross Way itself Disney Street Disney Place and Pedestrianised routes around Little Dorrit Park • Redcross Way/ Marshalsea Road junction needs better signage • The building frontage located on the corner of Quilp Street and Redcross Way, Avon House (Redcross Way) and the grade II listed Bishop’s Hall represent derelict/ buildings in poor condition and in are in need of attention • The road entrance to primary schools is poor and in need of revamp • Quilp Street appears derelict • Consideration should be given to buying Bishop’s Hall for community use through s106 contributions • Keep pedestrian routes between Redcross Way and Borough High Street 8 Bankside and Borough walkabouts: 2 December 2006 5.

Introduction “I have heard ancient men of good credit report that these single women were forbidden the rites of the church so long as they continued their sinful life and were excluded from Christian burial. And therefore, there was a plot of ground, called the single woman’s churchyard, appointed for them far from the parish church.” - John Stow’s Survey of London, 1598. “Sleep well, you winged spirits of intimate joy.” - Note taped to Cross Bone’s fence, 2011.

  • Historic Context
    Historic context Historical context Development of the site over time The proposals provide an opportunity to enhance the character and appearance of the area, and to preserve important views along Borough High Street. This area has experienced significant change over time, with particularly dramatic periods of development following the Great Fire of Southwark in 1676, the foundation of Guy’s Hospital in 1721, and the arrival of the railway at London Bridge in 1836. Today, the area’s rich history is poorly represented on this site by a collection of later buildings, most of which have no heritage value. In bringing forward these proposals, we are seeking to: • Reinforce the historic urban grain, creating a series of intimate and attractive spaces enclosed by architecture of the highest quality • Offer a considered and contextual response to the area’s established built form and palette of materials • Preserve the setting of the Grade I listed George Inn • Enhance public views through Borough High Street Conservation Area; including glimpsed views through the site The scheme has been informed by a detailed historical appraisal to ensure the proposals relate successfully to the historic environment and preserve the setting of heritage assets in the surrounding area.
