  • The Queens' College Mission Rotherhithe
    THE QUEENS’ COLLEGE MISSION (ROTHERHITHE). Queens’ College commenced work in South London in October, 1901, by taking over a small and struggling club for boys in the parish of St. Chrysostom, Peckham. The Rev. J. W. Maunders, who became first Missioner, had already been at work there for over two years ; and by 1907, when he left, had accomplished great things amongst the coster lads of the neighbour- hood. His work was always, as indeed it still continues to be, primarily religious and secondarily social. It grew steadily and surely till the Club numbered over 300 members, and the Bible Class, which was quite voluntary, had an average attendance of over 80. This Class was the great feature of Mr. Maunders’ work, and through the teaching given many boys were led on to Confirmation and became regular communicants. In 1907 the Rev. R. L. Gardner became Missioner, and he continued the work on similar lines for nearly three years. Owing to very unfortunate circumstances it was quite impossible for Queens’ to remain and carry on the Club in Peckham after 1910. Consequently a new sphere of work had to be sought if the College was still to have some share in what Cambridge had under­ taken to do for South London. This was a matter of some difficulty and caused considerable waste of time. Early in 1911, however, three possible places were suggested by Bishop Talbot, and the Committee decided to plant the Mission in the parish of Christ Church, 187 188 Queens’ College Rotherhithe. The Vicar thoroughly approved of the scheme and it was found possible to commence work without delay.

Bellenden Road is a quieter alternative. Much of the town centre activity spills over to busy side streets and the area is further enlivened by active faith and other community groups; • An area with a burgeoning sector of small and medium enterprises, many of which are creative industries. Copeland Park and the Bussey Building, the railway arches, Peckham Rye Station and Peckham Peckham Levels have become a focus for these industries; • An area of heritage value, particularly in the conservation areas with many interesting Victorian, Edwardian and inter-war buildings, including Peckham Rye Station, and the Baptist church with the former Jones and Higgins department store at the heart of Peckham town centre.
