Shakespeare statue - EC2

Site: Shakespeare statue - EC2 (1 memorial)

EC2, New Inn Yard

We first captured this chap at his temporary resting place outside Southwark Cathedral.  He was moved here in 2020-1 in recognition of the rediscovery of the nearby The Theatre in 2008.

If there's a plaque or an information panel here - we missed it.
