Inscription

This plaque was unveiled by John Prescott MP in the presence of the Mayor, Councillor Mary Neuner, to mark the opening of the North South Route in Haringey on 12 September 1990.
Designed by the Borough Engineer's Service of Haringey Council and the London Residuary Body.

Site: North South route in Haringey (1 memorial)

N17, Watermead Way

We missed all the publicity there must have been when this was unveiled in this car park, but, John Prescott - we are impressed.  was similarly struck by the importance of this piece of street furniture. There we learn that it used to be in the station forecourt. The plaque is rather lost in this new location - hope they are more careful with it in the next move, or it might be lost altogether, which would be a real shame.

2024: Paul Peters wrote to inform us that, as we feared might happen, this plaque has indeed gone.  All good things must end sometime.
