March 2016: Google Street View has this whole house fogged out. Someone ever so important must live there.
At British History On-line we read that it closed in 1923, not 1915 as per the plaque.
There are actually 2 plaques, with the same wording, on the building, one at first floor and one at ground floor level.
This portion of the building was destroyed by German bombing on the night of 27th September 1940, restored in 1948.
