caption_attribution_description: English: Ada Salter Rose Garden. Southwark Park, Rotherhithe, London, SE16 Opened in 1936 and named after Ada Salter (1869-1942), wife of Dr Alfred Salter (1873-1945), the "sixpenny doctor". In 1902 they had a daughter, Joyce, and they debated whether to stay in Bermondsey or move to Kent for the cleaner air. They chose Bermondsey. Joyce died in 1910 of scarlet fever.

context_section_description: The Alfred Salter Primary School was opened in 1995 to meet the growing demand for school places in Rotherhithe, due to the redevelopment of the old Surrey Docks.
  The Ada Salter Garden is in Southwark Park within the Old Surrey Docks area.
  The Alfred Salter Bridge is a footbridge leading off Watermans Lane, between Stave Hill and Redriff Road, near Greenland Dock as part of the Russia Dock Woodland.
  The statue of Dr Salter seated on a bench, shown above, was stolen, presumably for the value of its bronze, in November 2011. The Salter Statues Campaign group raised £60,000, which Southwark Council matched, to pay for replacement statues, and these were unveiled on 30 November 2014.
  A Salter Memorial Lecture is promoted by the Quaker Socialist Society each year as a fringe event at the Britain Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers).
