{On the stone to the right:}
A friend of Bermondsey for more than fifty years

{On the stone below, the outline of a lion rampant with a 'B' at its centre and:}

These four limestone blocks need a good clean. ÌýThe incorrectly identifies the creature as theÌý'Bermondsey dragon' but does confirm that the arrangement below (behind the cast-off furniture) was originally a drinking fountain.

We might move a fag end but generally we like to photograph memorials as we find them. That's not to say we always like the way we find them - this one seems particularly ignored and unloved.
