Gargoyle on Millstream House, Jamaica Road

On 14th October 1940, Millstream House (close to the Rotherhithe Tunnel roundabout and next to Scout House) was partially destroyed by a bomb dropped from an aircraft during the World War Two Blitz.

When the building was rebuilt in 1947, a gargoyle from the Houses of Parliament was incorporated. A stone tablet at ground level commemorates this.

THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THIS BUILDING WAS DESTROYED BY BOMBS ON THE 14TH OCTOBER 1940 AND REBUILT IN 1947

THIS STONE AND THE GARGOYLE ABOVE WERE TAKEN FROM A PART OF THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT ALSO DAMAGED IN THE AIR RAID
