“The sun set; the dusk fell on the stream, and lights began to appear along the shore…” Now the curtain rises upon a different scene.
1st Miracle: we’re only a 7-minute tube ride away from the Houses of Parliament.
2nd Miracle: we’re 500 years away;
3rd Miracle: this place still looks like – feels like – what it once was. (Was to Gulliver – it’s where he sailed from)
4th Miracle: the Mayflower – the Pilgrim Father’s pub – is here (let alone a king’s palace, a Dickensian mortuary, a villain’s gibbet, a prince’s tomb, a pirate’s pub and an East India Court).
5th Miracle: the 8th Wonder of the World is here (yes, we’re talking the underground cathedral – the Grand Entrance Hall to Brunel’s tunnel under the Thames).
6th Miracle: we’re going down into the 8th Wonder of the world, down into the underground cathedral – even though it’s locked and closed to the public. Coda anyone? River-lulled in ancient Rotherhithe we’ll hear the cool lapse of hours pass, until the centuries blend and blur. In Rotherhithe, in Rotherhithe…
