Plaque: T Walton
Erection date: 18/3/1931
This stone was laid by T Walton Esq. founder of T Walton (London) Ltd
18 March 1931
We would not normally have collected this, since it is really just a (not very interesting) foundation stone, but we were pleased to have spotted it and went to a lot of trouble to photograph it so that we could read it. We could not then bring ourselves to discard it. And there is a little mystery, since the plaque is attached to the wall rather than built into it, and the date of the building is 19th century rather than 1931. Which suggests that Walton's Ltd didn't build the building but moved into it and then put up the plaque - an unusual thing to do.
