WALWORTH THROUGH TIME - A Second Selection

South London based authors Darren Lock and Mark Baxter have recently published a second volume on the subject of SE17 called - WALWORTH THROUGH TIME - A SECOND SELECTION 'Using an unusual collection of photographs of Walworth and its immediate surrounding area, the authors tell further stories on this fascinating part of South London. We take a peek at long lost cinemas, famous theatres, legendary local characters, war time bombing, a large urban park, the biggest nightclub in the world, a modern mosque, fondly remembered pubs and schools, local transport, often frequented shops and the ever rapidly arriving 'new builds. They travel outside SE17 to take a look at parts of the Old Kent Road, Kennington, the Elephant and Castle and Camberwell - but the heart of the book is still in Walworth. We will introduce you to a mixed bag of world famous names such as Bobby Kennedy, Muhammad Ali, Dexys Midnight Runners, R.Whites lemonade, Buddy Holly and David Beckham. So, plump up a cushion and take a journey to Walworth and beyond!'

The book will be launched at St Peters Church, Liverpool Grove on July 19th 2012 from 6.30 - 8.30pm Refreshments will be served The book will be available, in limited numbers at a special launch price, on the evening. Both authors are more than happy to sign copies. We do hope you will be able to join us St Peters Church Liverpool Grove London, Greater London SE17 2HH 020 7703 3139

            

Where is the best Pie and Mash shop in London? www.telegraph.co.uk/intheknow

Quote by journalist Andy Welch:

With queues outside most days before opening, Arments just off Walworth Road near Elephant And Castle has a formidable reputation, and having tasted their steak pie, mash, liquor, it's not hard to see why. The family-run restaurant sells around 1,800 pies on a Saturday alone and, having been a pillar of the local community since 1914, are about to have a nearby street named in their honour. Make sure you try one of their new fruit pies for dessert too.

National Pie Week  – 3^rd generation of South London Pie Makers to be honoured in a street name

L&Q and London Borough of Southwark celebrate PIE AND MASH family ARMENTS

 

Put it on the Map was a local history project funded by the Heritage Lottery, delivered by THE CREATION TRUST, a charity involved with the regeneration of The Aylesbury Estate. The project included researching the people, businesses and events that helped shaped Walworth. Their stories were captured in short films that local residents voted on.  Arments were the clear winners in the public vote.

 

Developers L&Q who have delivered the first homes for the New Aylesbury were given the residents preferences for names and have processed:

ROFFO COURT, TOTTERS COURT

and we are delighted that ARMENTS in NATIONAL PIE week just 2 years off their centenary will have their own street or block when the next phase of the development is completed.

The Roffo family served Italian Ice Cream on the corner of East Street and Walworth Rd from the 1950’s to early 1980’s and Totters were the original Rag and Bone men selling recycled goods along Westmoreland rd. 

 

Arments, currently run by Roy and Cheryl are the 3^rd generation of the family to serve the secret recipe pies and eels.  Arment's first Eel & Pie house was started in 1914, the year of the Great War, by Mrs Emily Louise Arment and her husband William Peter Arment when they purchased an eel & pie house at 386 Walworth Road, SE17 from the Evans family. The development will be ready with residents moving in by the businesses 100 year anniversary.

 

John Lumley Project manager at L&Q said “L&Q is committed to resident participation – involving local people in choosing the names of their new homes is just one way that we can show our commitment to the communities in which we work”

 

Charlotte Benstead Director of The Creation Trust said “It is so great to recognize the contribution to the area that this family has made for generations”

 

Cheryl and Roy Arment owners of Arments said ….” We are absolutely delighted and honoured to receive this recognition and would like to thank all our voters for making this possible.  In the mean time, we will continue to serve the people of Southwark and afar with the very best Traditional Pie and Mash!”
