Plaque

(lost) Bradbury & Evans

Inscription

Site of Bradbury & Evans, printer and publisher of Dickens and Thackeray, 1847 - 1900.
City of London

Oh, dear, what is happening to the City plaques? This one looks really cheap, and the letter spacing is dreadful: Br A Dbury, Dick Ens, Th Acker Ay? We've seen better lettering on handwritten notices in the local newsagents.

EC4, Fleet Street, 78, Chronicle House

2024: This whole block is a building site so we have marked these memorials as being lost.  Possibly they will be reinstated when the development is complete.
