LCC
This is the plaque originally erected in Abingdon Street. Rescued from that war-damaged site, in 1959 the LCC donated it to the Institution of Civil Engineers, which Telford had founded.
In 1980 it was unveiled by HRH The Duke of Gloucester in the Institute's reception area.
We thank Steve Roffey for his work on the history of this plaque. See also .
