Laytons Grove, Borough, Southwark, c.1950

Laytons Grove, Borough, Southwark, c.1950  

Layton's Grove was on the eastside of Borough High Street.

The site shows the typical shape of a mediaeval inn yard and had a number of uses over time, each characteristic of the area.

Later it was the site of the Kings Bench Prison; it then became housing as seen here, and is now used for offices.
