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.
