On this walk, Sue will take you to the site of a Tudor royal house which became an asylum before being destroyed by bombs; the evidence that remains of the Salvation Army’s dominance over the area, including the Mothers’ Hospital and Congress Hall and a site which has been a girls’ school since the 1600s. You will also hear about the many characters of the area – prison reformers, actresses and playwrights – as well as learning about the pond and the chapel.
