BODDY'S BRIDGE

This is where the Tree family of basket makers lived and worked in the 1840s and 1850s. It was an area that housed the some of the very poorest of London. Boddy's Bridge is a small turning on the south side of Upper Ground, which is now closely hemmed in by high buildings. In a list of newly built tenements c.1634 mention is made of a brick and timber tenement "builded by Richard Boddy” that bridged over the sewer.
