Plaque

E. M. Forster

Inscription

E. M. Forster, 1879 - 1970, novelist, lived here.
Greater London Council

This plaque is significantly smaller than usual and our colleague, Alan Patient, points out that it is attached to one of a pair of pilasters. The width of the available space dictates the size of the plaque, 12 inches in diameter.
