Inscription

Never to be forgotten

This is the plaque that was first erected nearby.

Site: Richard Everitt and the Fleet River floods (3 memorials)

NW1, Purchese Street, Purchese Street Open Space

This memorial was moved here from its previous location.

This open space was reduced in size in 2020-22 to allow the construction of a building on the Purchese Street/Brill Place corner. The remaining space was re-landscaped and reopened in 2024 as Purchese Street Open Space.

In the background of our photo you can see the Everitt memorial, with the red wreath leaning against the plaque and the circular bench in front, with the steel-like plaque attached to one of the backs. The CNJ reported on the unveiling.
