match girls
The plaque punningly represents "match girls" - very nice. Hanbury Hall is where they met to organise their strikes for better working conditions.
This cast-iron roundel is one of 22 - see Bowler's page for more details.
Site: Hanbury Hall (4 memorials)
E1, Hanbury Street, 22, Hanbury Community Centre
Below the oval blue plaque there is a foundation stone:
This stone was laid by Mr William Forster - superintendant
C. Mc.I North - Archt.
August 1864
The white plaque used to be just to the right of the foundation stone, under the windowsill. Â This plaque was removed when the building was renovated in 2015. Â It emerged with two new memorials: the tiles and the blue oval. Â We thank our colleague Alan for these photos.
The pavement plaque is immediately outside the entrance.
