Inscription

ARP Depot - Harrow Green School
In memory of the five Civil Defence Volunteers and the six man crew of the Vickers Wellington bomber X9905 who perished when the aeroplane crashed on this site on the night of February 10th 1942.
Waltham Forest Heritage

The school had closed in 1932 so the buildings must have been an obvious choice for an Air Raid Precautions station.

Site: ARP Depot - Harrow Green School (1 memorial)

E11, Corn Way, 31

In this the street pattern is unrecognisable - the streets have been re-laid out as well as renamed.
