Site: Jack (Kid) Berg (2 memorials)

E1, Cable Street, Burlington Court, St George's Estate

First a plaque was erected on Noble Court, then in 2012 Burlington Court was built in front of Noble Court so a new plaque had to be erected. The new plaque is identical apart from a slightly different motif.
