Dominico and Pilar Maestri

Erection date: 2013

Inscription

In memory of Dominico and Pilar Maestri, much loved residents of Brook House, in the year of their Golden Wedding Anniversary, 2013.

Site: Leigh & Steadman and Maestri (2 memorials)

NW1, Cranleigh Street, Brook House

In our photo, at the top of the nearest cream-coloured panel on this building: "GB 1934" but we don't understand the 'GB'.

The Maestri plaque is on one of a cluster of planters that can't be seen in our picture because of the car. But you can see the Paddington clock which is directly above them and may indeed be part of the memorial.

2018: Timothy Thomas helpfully informs via Facebook that the clock "is not a part of any memorial,but there to let passers by know what time it is" and that "G.B.refers to George Brooks,whom the flats were named after."
