Finnish Seamen's Mission

Categories: Community / Clubs, Transport

Countries: Finland

We found a reference to the Mission at the Branch Street address in the Children's Newspaper, 10 June 1933, but apart from that the address given for the Finnish Seamen's Mission and church is always 33 Albion Street, Rotherhithe, where the present church building was opened in 1958. Perhaps the mission moved then.
