	GO BRITANNIA! Travel Guide: Southwark - Rotherhithe
		Rotherhithe was not mentioned in the Domesday Book but it is possible that it was regarded as a hamlet attached to Bermondsey.

		As with all of South London the area was affected by the war, indeed Mayor Henley was killed by a bomb fragment whilst on duty at the Town Hall in 1941.

		Rotherhithe is a peninsula on the south bank of the Thames in South East London in the London Borough of Southwark, part of the Docklands, facing Wapping and the Isle of Dogs on the north bank.

		Rotherhithe University’s motto is ‘Trial by Fire,’ alluding to both the illuminating and the all-consuming properties of fire.

		This community spirit possibly has its roots in the fact that Rotherhithe was once an island and it still retains a certain undiscovered allure.
		Today the working docks are gone, but the Rotherhithe peninsular is a mini paradise, with its docks attracting watersports enthusiasts and offering novices the chance to try their hand at sailing.
		Whilst a recent initiative has seen cherry trees start to be planted in the area once more, nowadays families are more likely to take a walk around lovely Southwark Park, possibly stopping off at the Café Gallery by the lake to see an exhibition by local artists.

		Speaking of spirit, our Raftan Canning was a "Beer and Spirit" merchant, and owned "an Ale and Stout Depot" in London in 1865 (these two quotes are from entirely different sources: the first from his death certificate, the second from the journals of the officers of the Confederate Steamer Shenandoah, after its surrender in Liverpool).
