We've given the inscription as "Donald Hamilton, Wakeford & Partners - Chartered Architects" but it's actually carved as  "Wakeeord" - whoops.

Site: James Middleton House (1 memorial)

E2, Middleton Street, James Middleton House

The address of James Middleton House is Middleton Street but the stone is actually in Punderson's Gardens.

We think this development must be named for (1878 – 1962), a journalist and political organiser best known for serving as the General Secretary of the Labour Party.
