Bridge House

The Bridge House was located on the south bank of the Thames, near St. Olave, Southwark and is labelled on the Agas map (Noorthouck). Stow describes the Bridge House as a storehouse for the materials used to build and repair London Bridge (Stow 1598, sig. Z3v). Edward Walford notes that the Bridge House also stored provisions for the navy and the public (Walford). The Bridge House was used as a banqueting hall on special occasions, including when the Lord Mayor came to visit Southwark (Walford).
