Historic Buildings of Bow

Site: Edmond Lord Sheffield (1 memorial)

E3, Bow Road, 215 - 217

When we photographed the plaque it was on a garage set back from the road (see this Google Street View). When we visited again in 2017 the garage, and plaque, were gone, replaced with this red brick building. The most recent, 2021, Street View shows that the red brick building has doubled in size but the plaque has not returned. So we've flagged it as 'lost'.
