Abbey Street History Abbey Street is named after Bermondsey Abbey, which it connected to the river. A stream ran alongside it which is probably the course followed by the Neckinger, or alternatively the Lock Stream going to Duffield sluice? The monks’ lavatories were built over the stream. It was laid out in 1820, when the western end was built on the site of the nave. The oldest part of the road was at the east end and called Neckinger Road, with the middle section as George Street. Further along the road is Neckinger Mills, a mill that had belonged to Bermondsey Abbey and became a water-pumping engine in 1780 for paper maker Matthias Koops and is now housing. The Railway Bridge carries the line to London Bridge Station, which was opened in 1836 and was the first railway line in London. The bridge is a Grade II listed structure.
