Map of Seven Islands (The Rector's Island), Rotherhithe

Seven Islands in 1740

Alfred D. Canning died at "5, Surrey Place, Lower Queen Street" in 1857. We don't find Surrey Place on this map, but it must have been close to the Lower Queen Street seen here at the River's edge, just below "Kings Stairs". Compare the main island in the Seven Islands area, with bridge, large building and fruit trees, to this picture of the >>> Swan Tavern kindly supplied by the Southwark Local Studies Library.
