Nubian Jak Community Trust
Black Plaque Project
Kuti is a Trinity Laban alumnus. This plaque was first placed outside this block of buildings, beside a door on College Way, which is where we took our close-up photo. Since then it has been moved inside, into the Conservatoire's reception area.
Site: Trinity Laban Conservatoire (4 memorials)
SE10, College Way, Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Dance and Music
The three plaques are in a locked room which the staff kindly opened for us. See a photo taken at the unveiling of the Blanke plaque.
Wikimedia have a 1922 photo showing the WW1 memorial in the entrance hall of the college when it was in Mandeville Place, W1.
