Mary's Story

Reverdy Road resident, Mary Ripper (1922-2018), who featured in the TV programme about Reverdy Road on the TV series 'Secret of our Streets' (view it here), wrote the story of her life in a book, I Do It For Love: the Life of Mary Ripper, a Bermondsey Girl which, thanks to her family, readers of BermondseyVicar can now download from our church website for a fascinating insight into the history of a Bermondsey family.
