Bowler plaque - World Map

Erection date: 1995

We're read that this plaque, showing a map of the world, is intended to honour the mosque, which seems odd. To us it seems more symbolic of immigration from many countries into Spitalfields.

This cast-iron roundel is one of 22 - see Bowler's page for more details.
