E1, Dock Street , alley behind the buildings
As we photographed the nearby Cable Street plaque a 'person of the street' approached and told us about another plaque, down a dark alley and out of sight. It demonstrates our commitment to the hunt for memorials that we can display here the photographs we took of this plaque. Most people, most of the time, mean well and can be trusted.
