Erection date: 16/7/1930

Inscription

Site: Wakefield and the TA (1 memorial)

SW17, Balham High Street, 213, Fusilier House

The plaque is below the window to the left of the ornate entrance. Presumably this is a foundation stone or a building opening stone for a building constructed for use by the TA, but it fails to identify itself.

We can't find evidence but it seems likely that when owned by the Jesus Hospital Charity the Tudor Hall was used as almshouses.

Not the most exciting plaque we've ever found, but the crest is pretty.
