(lost) Society of Industrial Artists and Designers

Inscription

In this tavern the Society of Industrial Artists and Designers, founded 1930, was first conceived during 1929.
Incorporated by Royal Charter in 1976.

Site: Old Cock Tavern and the Society of Industrial Designers (3 memorials)

EC4, Fleet Street, 22, Ye Olde Cock Tavern

We photographed this plaque in Sept 2003, but on returning to photograph the building in March 2008, the plaque had gone.

2021: we returned to find a new, brass, plaque in place with the same wording, bar the heading.  So we've added that to this page.

This is a loosely-worded plaque. We don't think it really means ALL the men lost in both World Wars, just those that worked at the Brewery.
