The Hop Exchange,

The hop is a climbing vine-like plant that can be used as a traditional preservative in beer. It imparts a distinctive bitter taste, the essential flavoring of English “bitter” beers, traditionally drunk at room temperature. Hops were introduced to England from the Netherlands, possibly around the Seventeenth-Century.
Hops are grown in Herefordshire and Kent, but it is the latter source that supplied the brewers of Southwark and of wider London, and that was offered for auction upon the floor of The Hop Exchange. Kentish hops were harvested by seasonal London labor and brought to Southwark by river or later by rail to London Bridge.
The Hop and Malt Exchange was built to the design of RH Moore with extensive skylights to illuminate the trading floor and stories of internal balconies for the bidders. Behind the balconies are traders’ offices. The cast iron balcony rails are decorated by courses of the arms of The County of Kent, a white horse rampant upon a gules shield. The splendid Southwark Street porch has an external tympanum with a fine sculpted relief illustrating hop-pickers at work.
Many similar commodity exchanges once graced London, but most have fallen to war, fire or re-development. The Hop Exchange was itself severely damaged by fire in 1918, necessitating the removal of the upper two stories.
Since the demolition of The Coal Exchange in the 1960’s, and the successive modernizations of the Stock and Metal Exchanges, The Hop Exchange has been the only survivor of the metropolis’s old-fashioned outcry floors.

Why Part of Gas Work? Where is the other part? I guess the other part was on the present site of Gallions Reach Shopping Park. I still remember this site, A13, etc.

FINALLY WE SEE AN END TO THIS CASE
DEFENDANTS WERE AQUITTED WITH 1 PLEADING TO A MINOR OFFENCE AND RECEIVING ONLY A CONDITIONAL DISCHARGE!
1.COUNCIL ADMITTED TO ALLOWING SQUATTERS DESTROY ANGEL COTTAGE
2.OWNER WAS AWARDED FULL COSTS AGAINST COUNCIL.
3.COUNCIL ADMITTED THE COLLAPSE OF COTTAGE WAS AN ACCIDENT.
4.WHY DID THE COUNCIL TAKE OWNERS TO CROWN COURT ONLY TO WITHDRAW DEMOLITION CHARGES ON 1ST DAY?
5.WHY WAS CASE TAKEN TO CROWN COURT? AT THE EXPENSE OF TAX PAYERS?
6.WHY DID COUCIL NOT WORK WITH OWNERS TO RESTORE ANGEL COTTAGE?
7.AS NO REMAINS OF COTTAGE REMAIN ON SITE, WILL COUNCIL ALLOW DEVELOPERS TO BUILD A BUILDING TO BENEFIT COMMUNITY? OR WILL IT REMAIN AN EYE SORE?

Thanks for these valuable info. Very interesting. Most people live here now are mainly immigrants and know nothing about these, this is not important, they do not have any respect for the past of this country, this is the point, anyway. I guess Recorder Group of Newspapers is still there, with a tiny office on Burges Road side. Also there is a learning centre for adults.
