E9, Ram Place, 7 - 8

For the location of this plaque English Heritage says "The plaque is on the northern elevation of the building, along an alley off Chatham Place". You can see it in our image taken from Google Earth, between two windows behind the white roof. This also looks very similar to the photo on the English Heritage website. Unfortunately we can't gain access as it is in a gated alleyway.
