Inscription

Tommy Steele OBE, entertainer, born Bermondsey, 17th December 1936.
London Borough of Southwark
Voted by the People

Site: Tommy Steele (1 memorial)

SE16, George Row, Nickleby House

We wish the plaque explained Steele's connection with this site / building. We've read that the new Hicks House on the Frean Street/Thurland Road block was named for Steele (ne Hicks) but that is a few streets away, the other side of Jamaica Road. The says "Bermondsey's Frean Street, where Steele and his three younger siblings grew up happy in hard times...". and has him born in Mason Street, SE17, not nearby at all.
