Erection date: 22/11/2017
Sir George Shearing OBE, 1919 - 2011, jazz pianist and composer.
The Battersea Society
SW11, Bolingbroke Grove, 26, Northcote Road School
The school was formerly the Linden Lodge School for the Blind, which Shearing attended as a boy. The plaque is on a building far from the road, so our picture is therefore not as sharp as we would like.
