Erection date: 1962
London County Council
Repairs to this Watergate were carried out in:
1898 - Re-roofing and general repairs
1962 - Re-roofing and restoration of masonry.
The plaque has left room for one more re-roofing, due, on this 64 year maintenance cycle, in 2026.
Site: York Watergate (2 memorials)
WC2, Victoria Embankment Gardens
Now 100 metres away from the Thames, this used to be where boats would pull in to allow passengers to disembark for York House.
The large grey plaque can be seen towards the left of our photo. The plaque about the repairs is laid into the floor under the arch.
