glazing the windows of an imposing new building of unusual proportions in what was then Great Surrey Street, later re-named Blackfriars Road. This building, the Surrey Chapel, was erected for Rowland Hill, the famous preacher, on a vacant piece of land immediately north of what is now Union Street but which was then called Charlotte Street. For many years, large and fashionable congregations were attracted to the chapel by the impassioned, inspired and eccentric preaching of Rowland Hill.     From the corner of Charlotte Street, stretching southwards as far as the next turning, Surrey Row, a block of three-storey houses had been built six years earlier in 1777. They were known as St. George's Terrace, the house on the corner opposite to Surrey Chapel, Number 23, being in the occupation of Thomas Noble. He was the first in an unbroken line of ironmongers who occupied the premises for a hundred and sixty years.     Behind the terrace lay a square of superior houses in one of which Percy Bysshe Shelley, the poet, live for some time. Later, the square was re-named Nelson Square in honour of the hero of Trafalgar.

It was a place of recreation popularised by Shakespeare's Bankside theatre and the old Bear Garden. Access to the other side of the river, to fashionable Westminster and the City itself, was by ferry-boat or London Bridge.     The first pile of the new Blackfriars Bridge driven into the river bed in 1760 was also the first nail in the coffin of the Surrey
