Site: Rowland Hill - NW3 (1 memorial)

The Camden New Journal of 24 February 2022 reported that when this car park was flattened to make way for the Pears building the plaque was removed. On 17 February 2022 it was re-erected in "a public garden space accessible via Rowland Hill Street".
2022: we found the plaque, immediately east of the new Pears Building, and will re-publish it soon.
