The Salters were absolute heroes in Bermondsey. My Nan (born 1914) was a patient of Dr Salter as a baby - he told her mother off for swaddling her too tightly, saying she needed fresh air and room to kick her legs!
Thank you for sharing that. The Salters' own daughter had died (aged just eight, of scarlet fever) just four years earlier and I think the community felt their sorrow very deeply.

The free window-boxes (even though they didn't quite come off) were a lovely - and inspired - idea.
