Our initial thoughts were that the wording on the plaque suggests that it was intended for another building (a "house") and was erected here, without anyone actually reading the inscription. The building is of mid-20th century design and so it seemed unlikely that it was Jasper's home "for much of his life". 

explains that this was Jasper's last home.  This shows that this corner used to be occupied by houses in the same style and of the same date as those in the rest of this road. They were almost certainly lost during WW2.  We're a long way from Hoxton so it seems unlikely that Jasper lived in one of them, but where did he live? One of us will have to read the biography to find out.

2026: Mike Coleman looked up some census records, and we can say that Jasper was born 14 July 1905/6 (records differ) at Witham Street, Hoxton (near the centre of this ). By 1911 he was still in Hoxton, at 37 Wilmer Gardens (towards the lower right of the same map). But by 1921 (aged 15) he had moved to Walthamstow, 13 Parkhurst Road and in 1939 he was still in Walthamstow, at 15 Elphinestone Road. So we know the earliest he could have moved to First Avenue is 1939. Perhaps he moved into a flat in First Avenue as soon as the block was built (1960ish?) and lived there until his death in 1970.
