Plaque

Faraday Building North

Inscription

Former site of Faraday Building Nth., City, Central, Long Distance and International Telephone Exchanges, 1902 to 1982.
City of London

An unusual amount of punctuation for a plaque.

Site: Faraday Building North (2 memorials)

EC4, Addle Hill

The July 2008 Google Street View (the earliest available) shows this whole block boarded to head height and this historic door surround, covered in scaffolding, in the process of being installed - the top pediment is not yet in place.  An attempt (failed in our opinion) to make this dull, dull, building interesting.
