Site: Emily Wilding Davison - Tattenham Corner (1 memorial)

KT18, Epsom Racecourse, Tattenham Corner

Not an easy plaque to find. Google Street View has a camera line taken from the racecourse itself which shows the back of the plaque. Using this we've managed to put our pin on exactly the right bit of fencing.
