Inscription

In loving memory of our dear son Richard Norman Everitt, born 1978, died 1994.
Death is nothing at all, I have only slipped away into the next room.

Site: Richard Everitt and the Fleet River floods (3 memorials)

NW1, Purchese Street, Purchese Street Open Space

This open space was reduced in size in 2020-22 to allow the construction of a building on the Purchese Street/Brill Place corner.  The remaining space was re-landscaped and reopened in 2024 as Purchese Street Open Space.

In the background of our photo you can see the Everitt memorial, with the red wreath leaning against the plaque and the circular bench in front, with the steel-like plaque attached to one of the backs. The reported on the unveiling.
