Mayfair's oldest house

Inscription

Westminster City Council
On this site, until destroyed by bombing during the winter of 1940, stood an archway and Mayfair's oldest house, 'The Cottage, 1618 A.D.' from where a shepherd tended his flock whilst Tyburn idled nearby.

Unveiled as part of Westminster's 50th anniversary commemorations marking the end of WW2.
The plant-screened section of the text was provided by our colleague, Alan Patient.
