Erection date: 23/1/2018
Inscription
Honouring the bravery and sacrifice of Jack Fourt-Wells and Richard Stocking of Clerkenwell Fire Station who gave their lives in the line of duty at the Smithfield Market fire, London, 23rd January 1958.
To mark the 60th anniversary of the fire this plaque was , on one of those temporary easel things (looks like a flip-board stand covered in velvet cloth), and was not in place on the building when we first visited in April 2018, but it was up by early March. The railings are probably listed which complicates the job of attaching a plaque.
Site: Smithfield war memorial + firemen (2 memorials)
