Erection date: 15/9/1988
Inscription
Rosehaugh Self Build Housing Initiative, Dunbridge Street, London E2, inaugurated by HRH the Prince of Wales, 15 September 1988.
{Centre top of the plaque is a cartoon drawing of a large-nosed person holding a brick.}
The drawing is surely by Mel Calman but we can find nothing to connect him with this development.
Site: Rosehaugh (1 memorial)
E1, Vallance Road, 176-178
This development covers the whole block. From this we think the full title was "Rosehaugh Stanhope self-build housing initiative for the unemployed".
Unrelated but interesting: informs that the Krays' family home was on this site, at 178 Vallance Road and the twins continued to visit their mother here until she left in 1967.
